Facile synthesis of microporous carbon spheres by selective pyrolysis

Abstract

Microporous carbon particles were obtained by pyrolyzing crosslinked poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) (PS-PMMA) copolymer spheres. The micropores were randomly dispersed throughout the matrix. The surface area and pore volume increased as the fraction of MMA was increased to 20 wt%, reaching 1135 m2 g−1 and 0.40 cm3 g−1, respectively.
