Preparation and characterization of ordered nanoporous carbon materials by templating method

Preparation and Characterization of Superhard Materials of Crystalline Carbon Nitride

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) Prompted by the prediction of Cohen and coworkers that beta carbon nitride may have properties similar to diamond, there have been many attempts to synthesize this hypothetical metastable material. We successfully synthesized this material via epitaxial stabilization using TiN(lll) and ZrN(lll) as the growth template. The coatings were CN/TiN or CN/ZrN multilaye...

Morphology Control of Ordered Mesoporous Carbon Using Organic-Templating Approach

Electroanalysis using modified hierarchical nanoporous carbon materials.

The role of the electrode nanoporosity in electroanalytical processes is discussed and specific phenomena (slow double layer charging, local pH effects) which can be present in porous electrode are described. Hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) materials are synthesized using a hard template method. The three dimensional carbon porosity is examined using scanning electron microscopy on flat surfac...

Toward carbon dioxide capture using nanoporous materials*

The development of more efficient processes for CO2 capture from the flue streams of power plants is considered a key to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions implicated in global warming. Indeed, several U.S. and international climate change initiatives have identified the urgent need for improved materials and methods for CO2 capture. Conventional CO2 capture processes employed in power p...

Physical Adsorption Characterization of Nanoporous Materials

During recent years, major progress has been made in the understanding of the adsorption, pore condensation and hysteresis behavior of fluids in novel ordered nanoporous materials with well defined pore structure. This has led to major advances in the structural characterization by physical adsorption, also because of the development and availability of advanced theoretical procedures based on ...
