N-doped carbon spheres with hierarchical micropore-nanosheet networks (HPSCSs) were facilely fabricated by a one-step carbonization and activation process of N containing polymer spheres by KOH. With the synergy effect of the multiple structures, HPSCSs exhibit a very high specific capacitance of 407.9 F g(-1) at 1 mV s(-1) (1.2 times higher than that of porous carbon spheres) and a robust cycl...

Ultrahigh surface area carbons (3000 – 3500 m g) have been obtained via chemical activation of polypyrrole with KOH. The carbon materials exhibit large pore volumes (up to ~2.6 cm g) and possess two pore systems; one of pores in the micropore range (~ 1.2 nm) and the other in the small mesopore range (2.2 – 3.4 nm). Some carbons also possess a significant proportion of 0.6 nm pores. Tunning of ...

Chemotaxis of mononuclear leukocytes from humans, mink, and cattle was evaluated in vitro using a morphologic Boyden chamber technique and a new labeled mononuclear radioassay with a double micropore filter system. Significantly decreased mononuclear leukocyte chemotactic responses were noted when human, mink, or cattle Chediak-Higashi cells were tested using autologous serum or endotoxin-activ...

The paper examines the validity of two approaches frequently used to determine surface areas in activated carbons, namely the BET method and the use of immersion calorimetry. The study is based on 21 well characterized carbons, whose external and microporous surface areas, Se and Smi, have been determined by a variety of independent techniques. It appears clearly that SBET and the real surface ...
