Strengthen the Affinity of Element Mercury on the Carbon-Based Material by Adjusting the Coordination Environment of Single-Site Manganese

Mercury, as a highly poisonous pollutant, poses a severe threat to the global population. However, the removal of Hg0 can only be carried out at below 100 °C due to the weak binding of the adsorbent. Herein, a series of carbon-based materials with different coordination environments and atomic dispersion of single-site manganese were prepared, and their elemental mercury removal performance was systematically investigated. It was demonstrated...
