Synthesis And Characterization Of Ordered Porous Carbon Via A Template Method

In this paper, we mainly focused on the preparation of ordered porous carbon materials via a template method with commercial Y zeolite as the template and furfuryl alcohol & propylene as carbon resources. The template method involves impregnation of carbon resource, carbonization of composite in the nano channels of the Y zeolite and removal of framework. Effects of the synthesis parameters on the form, structure and character of the product were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and EDX were used to study the morphologies and structures of the product. Thermal stability, resistance oxidation, electric character and BET surface area were analysed. Based on the data obtained in these investigations, mechanisms of forming porous carbon are proposed and discussed to elucidate the formation process according to preparing conditions.It is found that, with a template method, ordered porous carbon with high surface areas can be produced with Y zeolite and furfuryl alcohol & propylene are separately used as template and carbon resources. Compared with those obtained product by routine chemical activated method, porous carbon obtained in our experiments have special structure and performance. The obtained porous carbons exhibit ordered structure, high surface areas, large pore volumes and monomodal pore size distribution.Synthesis of ordered porous carbon in this paper involves impregnation of organic carbon resources into the hole of Y zeolite, then carbonization of composite at appropriate temperatures and final removal of framework. It is found that impregnation of organic carbon resource, best polymerization temperature and the method of dissolving the template can influence the structure and the yield of product.And also we founded that the resulting porous carbons have good thermal stability, resistance oxidation and electric character.
