KOH activation of mesoporous carbons obtained by soft-templating

Mesoporous phenolic resin-based carbons were prepared by soft-templating synthesis and activated by KOH. It is shown that the KOH activation of these mesoporous carbons results in a substantial increase of microporosity with simultaneous preservation of mesoporous structure. The resulting micro- and...

Description
Summary:Mesoporous phenolic resin-based carbons were prepared by soft-templating synthesis and activated by KOH. It is shown that the KOH activation of these mesoporous carbons results in a substantial increase of microporosity with simultaneous preservation of mesoporous structure. The resulting micro- and mesoporous carbons possess high surface area and large volume of mesopores.
