In this review, we discuss the use of doped carbon nanomaterials in catalysis, a subject that is currently intensively studied. The availability of carbon nanotubes since the 1990's and of graphene ten years later prompted the development of novel nanotechnologies. We review this topic linking fundamental surface science to the field of catalysis giving a timely picture of the state of the art. The main scientific questions that material scientists have addressed in the last decades are described, in particular the enduring debate on the role of the different nitrogen functionalities in the catalytic activity of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes and graphene.
在本综述中，我们讨论了掺杂碳纳米材料在催化领域的应用，这是当前正在深入研究的一个课题。自20世纪90年代碳纳米管问世以及十年后石墨烯出现以来，推动了新型纳米技术的发展。我们回顾这一主题，将基础表面科学与催化领域联系起来，及时展现该领域的最新进展。描述了材料科学家在过去几十年中所解决的主要科学问题，特别是关于不同氮官能团在氮掺杂碳纳米管和石墨烯催化活性中作用的持续争论。
