A review of hierarchical porous carbon derived from various 3D printing techniques

Abstract

Hierarchical porous carbon is an area of advanced materials that plays a pivotal role in meeting the increasing demands across various industry sectors including catalysis, adsorption, and energy storage and conversion. Additive manufacturing is a promising technique to synthesize architectured porous carbon with exceptional design flexibility, guided by computer-aided precision. This review paper aims to provide an overview of porous carbon derived from various additive manufacturing techniques, including material extrusion, vat polymerization, and powder bed fusion. The respective advantages and limitations of these techniques will be examined. Some exemplary work on various applications will be showcased. Furthermore, perspectives on future research directions, opportunities, and challenges of additive manufacturing for porous carbon will also be offered.
