Facile fabrication of novel highly microporous carbons with superior size-selective adsorption and supercapacitance properties†
Abstract
A facile approach to fabricate novel highly microporous carbons has been developed by direct carbonization of lowly cross-linked polystyrene. The as-prepared highly microporous carbons demonstrate unusually high micropore rate (97%), high surface area (1108 m2 g−1) and uniform pore size distribution, and thus exhibit excellent size-selective adsorption and electrochemical properties.
