Direct synthesis of carbide-derived carbon monoliths with hierarchical pore design by hard-templating

Abstract

Carbide-derived carbon Monoliths (CDC-Ms) containing a multimodal arrangement with high volumes of micro- meso- and macropores are prepared by direct nanocasting of silica monoliths with polycarbosilane precursors. CDC-Ms show well-defined pore structures along with specific surface areas of more than 2600 m2 g−1 and overall pore volumes as high as 3.14 cm3 g−1. They exhibit advanced gas filtration properties compared to purely microporous materials due to enhanced storage capacities and kinetics as demonstrated by thermal response measurements based on InfraSORP technology.
