Summary: In this study, La-Co-O composites with different La/Co molar ratios were synthesized as catalysts for CO oxidation and CO + NO reduction reactions. The results showed that the properties of the catalysts had a significant impact on the reaction rate, but the co-existence of Co3O4 and LaCoO3 played a crucial role in activating CO and O2 (or NO).

Summary: Hierarchically porous carbon was synthesized using templating method with magnesium salts as template precursors and citric acid as carbon precursor. The carbonization process resulted in the formation of MgO particles and released gases which acted as porogens to generate pores in carbon. The resulting hierarchically porous carbon exhibited high surface oxygen functional groups and showed excellent electrocatalytic reduction performance for 4-nitrophenol.

Summary: In this study, carbon xerogels co-doped with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) or sulfur (S) were synthesized and used as catalysts for the electrocatalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). Nitrogen-doped carbon xerogels (NDCX) were first prepared through the pyrolysis of organic gels, and P or S atoms were then introduced to the NDCX by vapor deposition. Various measurements confirmed the successful doping of N atoms to the carbon xerogels, and the co-doping of P or S atoms affected the existing status of N atoms. Cyclic voltammetry scanning revealed that the N and P co-doped material, P-NDCX-1.0, exhibited the best catalytic performance, with an overpotential of -0.569 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and a peak slope of 695.90 mu A/V. The material also demonstrated good stability, with only a 14 mV shift in the reduction peak overpotential after 100 cycles.
