Synthesis of Porous Carbon Monoliths Using Hard Templates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The preparation of porous carbon monoliths with a defined shape via template-assisted routes is reported. Monoliths made from porous concrete and zeolite were each used as the template. The porous concrete-derived carbon monoliths exhibited high gravimetric specific surface areas up to 2000 m²·g-1. The pore system comprised macro-, meso-, and micropores. These pores were hierarchically arranged. The pore system was created by the complex interplay of the actions of both the template and the activating agent as well. On the other hand, zeolite-made template shapes allowed for the preparation of microporous carbon monoliths with a high volumetric specific surface area. This feature could be beneficial if carbon monoliths must be integrated into technical systems under space-limited conditions.

Synthesis of emulsion-templated porous polyacrylonitrile and its pyrolysis to porous carbon monoliths
PolyHIPEs are emulsion-templated polymers synthesized within high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). The miscibility of acrylonitrile (AN) with water has made it difficult to synthesize PAN-based polyHIPEs. This paper describes the successful synthesis of PAN-based polyHIPEs by crosslinking through copolymerization with divinylbenzene (DVB), by stabilization with a polyglycerol polyricinoleate s...

Porous carbon monoliths with defined multilength scale pore structures, a nitrogen-containing framework, and high mechanical strength were synthesized through a self-assembly of poly(benzoxazine-co-resol) and a carbonization process. Importantly, this synthesis can be easily scaled up to prepare carbon monoliths with identical pore structures. By controlling the reaction conditions, porous carb...
متن کاملHard template synthesis of metal nanowires
Metal nanowires (NWs) have attracted much attention because of their high electron conductivity, optical transmittance, and tunable magnetic properties. Metal NWs have been synthesized using soft templates such as surface stabilizing molecules and polymers, and hard templates such as anodic aluminum oxide, mesoporous oxide, carbon nanotubes. NWs prepared from hard templates are composites of me...
متن کاملSynthesis of Hard Carbon- Silicon Nanocomposite as Anode Active Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries
In this research, using phenolic resin as the precursor of carbon and various amounts of ethylene glycol as a pore former, porous samples of hard carbon were synthesized. Samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption methods. Broad diffraction peaks represent the amorphous structure of samples. Moreover, the gas adsorption-desorption curves showed that the a...
متن کاملTen Years of Research on Ordered Mesoporous Carbons: Major Advances in Synthesis, Properties and Potential Applications
About ten years ago Ryoo and co-workers [1,2] reported the hard-templating (HT) synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) by using ordered mesoporous silicas (OMSs) as hard templates. Five years afterward the soft-templating (ST) synthesis of OMCs has been discovered [3-6]. Significant progress has been made in both hardand soft-templating synthesis of OMCs [7-10]. Major advances in the sy...
