The present invention relates to sorbents including carbon and nitrogen. In various embodiments, the sorbent can remove mercury from a mercury-containing gas that includes sulfur(VI) such as SOmore efficiently than other sorbents. The sorbent can include a graphene edge comprising an active site for mercury oxidation and a nitrogen layer structure including cationic nitrogen atoms, neutral nitrogen atoms, or a combination thereof proximate the active site. 1. A nitrogen-containing activated carbon sorbent , comprising:an activated carbon comprising nitrogen in a surface layer thereof, the activated carbon comprising a core comprising nitrogen, wherein the surface layer has a higher concentration of nitrogen than the core.2. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the surface layer of the sorbent comprises a layer at the surface of the sorbent having a thickness of about 0.001% to about 49% of the largest dimension of the sorbent.3. The sorbent of claim I claim 1 , wherein the core of the sorbent comprises about 0.001 wt % to about 6 wt % nitrogen.4. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the surface layer of the sorbent comprises about 0.001 wt % to about 80 wt % nitrogen.5. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the surface layer comprises cationic nitrogen atoms claim 1 , neutral nitrogen atoms claim 1 , or a combination thereof.6. The sorbent of claim I claim 1 , wherein the sorbent is a halogen- or halide-promoted activated carbon.7. The sorbent of claim 6 , wherein the halogen- or halide-promotion comprises promotion with HCl claim 6 , HBr claim 6 , HI claim 6 , Br claim 6 , Cl claim 6 , I claim 6 , BrCl claim 6 , IBr claim 6 , ICl claim 6 , ClF claim 6 , PBr claim 6 , PCl claim 6 , SCl claim 6 , CuCl claim 6 , CuBr claim 6 , AlBr claim 6 , FeI(x=1 claim 6 , 2 claim 6 , 3 claim 6 , or 4) claim 6 , FeBr(y=1 claim 6 , 2 claim 6 , 3 claim 6 , or 4) claim 6 , FeCl(z=1 claim 6 , 2 claim 6 , 3 claim 6 , or 4) claim 6 , MnBr claim 6 , MnCl claim 6 , NiBr claim 6 , NiCl claim 6 , NiI ...
