BENZOYL PEROXIDE DECOMPOSITION BY NITROGEN-CONTAINING CARBON NANOMATERIALS

Abstract

The catalytic activities of nanoporous carbon materials, their modified forms and enzyme catalase was determined by calculation of Michaelis constants according to the kinetics of substrate decomposition. It is found that the catalytic activity of studied samples correlated with surface basicity and presence of quaternary nitrogen groups in structure.
