Metalated carbon nitrides as base catalysts for efficient catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide

Abstract

A new type of base catalyst was designed and prepared by metalation of carbon nitrides with alkali metal ions. The as-prepared metalated carbon nitride composites showed enhanced basicity and efficient catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide. The results of this study demonstrate that the metalation of carbon nitrides holds great promise for base catalysis applications.
