Lithium acetylide (LiC=CLi) was easily oxidized by exposure in CO2 at room temperature, resulting in reaction product mixture composed of carbon and lithium compounds (mainly Li2CO3). Porous carbons containing mesopores and macropores were prepared by removal of the lithium compounds using immersion in hydrochloric acid. The pore formation was derived from micro-domain structure consisting of the carbon matrix and the lithium compounds in the lithium acetylide oxidized with CO2. Furthermore, the macropores and mesopores in the porous carbon were developed by the heat treatment (1000°C) of the oxidized lithium acetylide before the acid immersion.
