Since the development of Starbon as a high‐surface‐area mesoporous carbon, multiple reports have been published on its use as solid catalyst support. Starbon itself has a very modest catalytic activity – as will be seen next, there is little more than some weakly acidic groups on the surface. Therefore, the addition of more powerfully active groups (e.g. sulphonic acid sites or basic amines) is likely to provide a much more active material for catalytic applications, while N functionalised materials may also improve adsorbency of metals and function as ligands for catalytically active surfaces.
