Carbon Nitride Encapsulated Nanodiamond Hybrid with Improved Catalytic Performance for Clean and Energy-Saving Styrene Production via Direct Dehydrogenation of Ethylbenzene

In this work, the unconsolidated carbon-nitride-layer close-wrapped nanodiamond (H-ND) hybrid has been successfully synthesized by a facile two-step approach including the mechanical milling of ND powder and hexamethylenetetramine and the followed pyrolysis of hexamethylenetetramine. The unique microstructure and surface chemistry characteristics of the nanohybrid have been identified by employing diverse characterization techniques including...
