There is broad interest in metal‐free catalysis for sustainable chemistry. Carbocatalysis is a
“green” option for catalytic transformations in the gas phase as well as in the liquid phase …

Internal combustion engines are among the main sources of soot particles, especially when
non-homogeneous and high fuel-air ratio conditions are achieved in the combustion …

An analytical method for analyzing high-resolution transmission electron microscopy
(HRTEM) images is presented. The method is composed of two major parts: digital image …

Controlling the charge transfer between a semiconducting catalyst carrier and the supported
transition metal active phase represents an elite strategy for fine turning the electronic …

This paper investigates the physicochemical properties (ie nanostructure, degree of
graphitization, surface functionalities and carbon chemical state) of soot emitted from a …

Methane pyrolysis in molten salts has the potential to provide low-cost, low-CO 2 emission H
2 on an industrial scale. The alkali halides (NaBr, KBr, KCl, NaCl,(Na, K) Br) are inexpensive …

An automotive diesel engine was tested in three representative modes of soot accumulation,
active regeneration and spontaneous regeneration of its catalyzed diesel particulate filter …

Soot crystalline structure was evaluated for four soot samples and one carbon black using
Raman parameters obtained from first-order Raman spectra. For this work, different numbers …

Soot oxidation kinetics is relevant for the exhaust pollutant reduction through processing in
abatement systems based on filtering and oxidation as diesel particulate filters. Soot …

A wide variety of hydrocarbon processes, catalytic or noncatalytic, involve the formation of
carbon deposits, either on catalysts or on reactor (or engine/exhaust) surfaces. Therefore …
