Defect enriched N-doped carbon nanoflakes as robust carbocatalysts for H2S selective oxidation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/d0ta00212g

Nanocarbons have emerged as low-cost, efficient and durable nonmetallic catalysts for H₂S selective oxidation. However, the most efficient active sites for H₂S activation remain elusive, which restricts further development of high-pe
