ABSTRACT
Recent advances in the design of carbon materials have contributed to the development of highly featured carbons that off er unexpected opportunities in multidisciplinary fields beyond traditional uses [1-4]. Owing to an unforeseen control in the physicochemical and structural properties (particle size and shapes, uniformity in porous void, flexibility) during the synthesis, modern carbons are emerging as promising materials in many science and engineering fields [2-4]. The majority of these applications derive from the flexible coordination chemistry of carbon atoms and their ability to bind other heteroatoms either on the surface or inserted within the structural framework.
