ABSTRACT

There has been a growing interest in new applications of porous carbons because of their chemical inertness, conductive property, high surface area, and mechanical resistance. Porous carbon materials have been applied in various applications, including gas separation, water purication,1−3 catalyst supports,4−6 and electrodes for batteries and fuel cells.7 Different pore size distributions are applied in different practical elds. Especially, the development of mesopores is of great importance because it allows the carbon materials to adsorb large molecules such as polymers,
