Mesoporous C/CrN and C/VN Nanocomposites Obtained by One-Pot Soft-Templating Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanocomposites of ordered mesoporous carbon associated with chromium nitride (CrN) or vanadium nitride (VN) nanoparticles were obtained by a simple one-pot synthesis based on the solvent evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) process using Pluronic triblock surfactant as soft-template and a phenol-based resin (resol) as carbon precursor. These nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques. Electron tomography (or 3D-TEM) technique was particularly useful for providing direct insight on the internal architecture of C/CrN nanocomposite. Nanocomposites showed a very well organized hexagonal mesoporous carbon structure and a relatively high concentration of nanoparticles well distributed in the porous network. The chromium and vanadium nitrides/mesoporous carbon nanocomposites could have many potential applications in catalysis, Li-ion batteries, and supercapacitors.

Open pore architecture of an ordered mesoporous IrO2 thin film for highly efficient electrocatalytic water oxidation.
We report the first accessible channel-like open pore architecture of ordered 2D hexagonal mesoporous IrO2 films and its utilization as an efficient anode for electrocatalytic water oxidation. A well-ordered mesostructure of circa 7 nm pores were obtained by a facile one-pot soft-templating strategy, employing a [Ir(OH)6](2-) precursor stabilized by a triblock copolymer "Pluronic F127" as a por...
متن کاملHierarchical Phenolic Resin-based Carbons with High Surface Area and Pore Volume Obtained by Soft-templating and Activation
Introduction Advanced applications often require carbons with high surface area and hierarchical porous structures. In response to this demand some efforts have been undertaken to create materials, which effectively combine the properties of both activated carbons (high surface area) and ordered mesoporous carbons (tunable and well-developed porosity). While there are activation methods, which ...
