Synthesis of a new mesoporous carbon and its application to electrochemical double-layer capacitors

Abstract

A mesoporous carbon with regular three-dimensionally interconnected 2 nm pore arrays using AlMCM-48 as a template has been synthesised; the mesoporous carbon exhibited excellent performance as an electrochemical double layer capacitor.
