White carbon black, a seemingly ordinary inorganic compound, was inspired by the microstructure of diatoms in nature. Scientists have discovered that diatoms construct efficient light capture and material transport systems through nanoscale silica frameworks, inspiring them to develop gas-phase white carbon black with a similar porous structure. This material not only has a super high specific surface area, but also achieves customized adsorption performance through precise control of porosity. Nowadays, white carbon black has moved from the laboratory to the industrial sector, becoming a core material in fields such as green tires and environmentally friendly coatings. Its production process is gradually achieving low carbonization, such as using gas-phase reactors driven by renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions per ton of product by 40%. This green revolution from nature to industry is redefining the sustainable future of inorganic materials.
