Solving energy and environmental problems through solar‐driven photocatalysis is an
attractive and challenging topic. Hence, various types of photocatalysts have been …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a metastable form of amorphous carbon with significant sp3
bonding. DLC is a semiconductor with a high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, and …

Four commercial activated carbons with different chemical and textural characteristics were
modified by gamma irradiation under five different conditions: irradiated in absence of water …

Even though, owing to the complexity of nanoporous carbons' structure and chemistry, the
origin of their photoactivity is not yet fully understood, the recent works addressed here …

The interest in the use of nanoporous carbon materials in applications related to energy
conversion and storage, either as catalysts or additives, has grown over recent decades in …

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon-nitride (aC: H: N) thin films (or N-DLC) were deposited on
glass and FTO substrates by a dielectric barrier discharge plasma technique using CH 4/N 2 …

The electronic structure of diamond-like carbon is reviewed. The sp 3 content varies linearly
with density experimentally and in simulations. The bandgap is determined by the fraction …

Abstract Amorphous SiC (a-SiC) thin films with a quartz plate as the substrate were prepared
under different radio frequency (RF) powers through RF magnetron sputtering. Films …

By using monochromatic light the ability of semiconductor‐free nanoporous carbons to
convert the low‐energy photons from the visible spectrum into chemical reactions (ie phenol …

This study explored the photochemical activity of nitrogen-doped biochars (NCMs) by
investigating their role in the degradation of sulfamethazine under simulated sunlight …
