Carbon materials with tailorable structures and superior properties have great potential applications in environmental protection, energy conversion, and catalysis. Plant biomass as abundant and green non-toxic raw materials has been considered as good precursors for synthesizing heteroatom-doped carbon materials. However, few studies have been reported on the different natures of carbon materials derived from different parts of the same plant biomass. In this study, we prepared carbon materials from the petioles and blades of apricot leaves by direct pyrolysis without additives. Detailed characterizations indicate that these two carbon materials are similar in element composition and graphitization degree, but differ greatly in surface area and pore volume. These differences can be attributed to the different contents of inorganic salts, vascular bundles, and proteins in petioles and blades. When used as catalysts for the oxidation of ethylbenzene, the petiole-derived carbon shows better catalytic performance than the blades derived carbon due to its high surface area, large average pore size, and doped nitrogen atoms. Furthermore, the carbon catalysts derived from the petioles and blades of poplar leaves and parasol tree leaves show the same difference in catalytic reaction, implying that the above-mentioned conclusion is rather universal, which can provide reference for the synthesis of carbon materials from leaves.

본 연구는 무금속프탈로시아닌 색소계를 이용한 전자사진 감광체의 개발에 관한 것이다. 전하발생물질로서는 각종 형태의 무금속프탈로시아닌을 사용했고, 결합제로서는 각종 폴리머를 사용했으며, 전하이동물질로서는 히드라존유도체나 아연착화합물을 사용했다. 전하발생물질로서 사용한 α-, β-, x형의 프탈로시아닌중에서는 x형의 무금속프탈로시아닌(x-H2Pc)의 경우가 가장 좋은 감도를 보였다. 전하발생물질로서는 x-H2Pc를, 전하수송물질로서는 히드라존유도체를 사용했을 때, 다른 감광체들과 비교하여 73.1%의 높은 1.50lux·sec의 좋은 감도를 보였다.
