Carbon nanocages

These excellent textural characteristics would be very useful for the adsorption of biomolecules. Figure 4.17 compares the adsorption behavior of lysozyme on CMK-3 (plot (a)), CMK-3-150 (plot (b)), and the carbon nanocage (plot (c)) at pH 11 [154],...

The carbon corrosion issues are faced by the study of different carbonaceous supports, such as carbon black or carbon nanostructures. Recent results evidence the superiority of graphitized carbon with respect to amorphous carbon black in terms of corrosion resistance, and the promising characteristics of carbon nanocages when Pt sintering effects are considered [62].
