Synthesis of hierarchical zeolite templated carbons

The achievement of hierarchical zeolite templated carbons (ZTCs) is firstly reported through the use mesoporous zeolites as sacrificial scaffolds. achieved ZTCs feature both tailored microporosity and high degree mesoporosity allow hence to bridge gap between classical CMK-like materials. Mesoporosity from steamed was meticulously transcribed ZTC particles. featuring surfactant-templated allowed for achieving a with very mesopore volume (0.85 cm3 g?1). rearrangement could be evidenced nitrogen physisorption transmission electron microscopy on ultramicrotomed samples. during formation has been found impact coherent crystal size lattice strain template. combination data X-ray diffraction further reveal that thickness skeleton impacted by intracrystalline in template zeolite. Through comparing textural characteristics templates ZTCs, important evidence surfactant-templating USY leads development secondary amorphous phase reduction microporous this process merely apparent.
