Abstract
The carbon pore-structure formed by MgO-templated method consists of nano-carbon wall and mesopore made with MgO. From MgO and its mixtures with resin that have high yield of carbon, micro-mesoporous carbons were obtained through their carbonization at 900 °C, followed by the dissolution of MgO. The carbon powder prepared by this method possesses high surface area without any activation process. The mesopore size of carbon powders is controlled by the crystallite size of MgO, and micropore amount depends on resin structure. Crystallinities of their carbon powders with heat-treatment up to 2500 °C were very uniform.
