MnS doped mesoporous silica catalysts for the generation of novel carbon nanocages

Novel MnS impregnated mesoporous silica systems have been originated for the generation of carbon nanocages. The procedure involves a simple catalytic vapour deposition (CVD) method. This is the first time that a transition metal sulfide has been used for the synthesis of carbon nanostructures.

Graphical abstractThe use of novel MnS impregnated mesoporous silica systems as catalysts for the generation of carbon nanostructures via a simple catalytic vapour deposition (CVD) method is reported. This is the first time that a transition metal sulphide has been used for the synthesis of carbon nanostructures. Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
