Polycondensation of Boron- and Nitrogen-Codoped Holey Graphene Monoliths from Molecules: Carbocatalysts for Selective Oxidation

A simple but powerful chemical process—the copolymerization of biomass (glucose) and boric acid as templated by dicyandiamide (see picture)—was used to fabricate high‐quality doped graphene monoliths with through‐plane nanopores. The holey graphene monoliths had a high surface area and showed excell...

Description
Summary:A simple but powerful chemical process—the copolymerization of biomass (glucose) and boric acid as templated by dicyandiamide (see picture)—was used to fabricate high‐quality doped graphene monoliths with through‐plane nanopores. The holey graphene monoliths had a high surface area and showed excellent performance as metal‐free carbocatalysts for selective oxidation.
