Abstract
The research and development of functional nanostructured carbons (FNCs) or FNC-based catalysts for het- erogeneous catalysis is a highly dynamic and important topic in academia and industry because FNCs show integrated advantages: accessible pore system, regular pore structure, controlled bulk composition and surface chemistry, rapid ionic and electron mobility, etc as compared to their conventional analogs. Rather than a detailed treatise into every as- pects of FNCs, this short review attempts to highlight some critical and important issues of a series of FNCs based on some representa- tive reactions: (1) the pathways in rational fabrication of the structure and chemistry controlled FNCs, (2) the strategies to make the most of structural merits in design of high-performance catalysts based on FNCs, (3) the possible roles of textural parameters and surface het- erogeneities of FNCs on catalytic behaviors. Finally, the challenges in the design of more tailored FNCs and FNC-based catalysts are pointed out, and the need of advanced characterizations and computational predication for in-depth understanding of carbon physics and chemistry of FNCs as well as catalysis mechanisms are suggested.
