Carbon materials form pores ranging in size and morphology, from micropores of less than 1nm, to macropores of more than 50nm, and from channel-like spaces with homogenous diameters in carbon nanotubes, to round spaces in various fullerene cages, including irregularly-shaped pores in polycrystalline carbon materials. The large quantity and rapid rate of absorption of various molecules made possible by these attributes of carbon materials are now used in the storage of foreign atoms and ions for energy storage, conversion and adsorption, and for environmental remediation. Porous Carbons: Syntheses and Applications focuses on the fabrication and application of porous carbons. It considers fabrication at three scales: micropores, mesopores, and macropores. Carbon foams, sponges, and 3D-structured carbons are detailed. The title presents applications in four key areas: energy storage, energy conversion, energy adsorption, including batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells and environmental remediation, emphasizing the importance of pore structures at the three scales, and the diffusion and storage of various ions and molecules. The book presents a short history of each technique and material, and assesses advantages and disadvantages. This focused book provides researchers with a comprehensive understanding of both pioneering and current synthesis techniques for porous carbons, and their modern applications. Presents modern porous carbon synthesis techniques and modern applications of porous carbons Presents current research on porous carbons in energy storage, conversion and adsorption, and in environmental remediation Provides a history and assessment of both pioneering and current cutting-edge synthesis techniques and materials Covers a significant range of precursor materials, preparation techniques, and characteristics Considers the future development of porous carbons and their various potential applications

This book shows the promising future and essential issues on the storage of the supercritical gases, including hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide, by adsorption with controlling the gas-solid interaction by use of designed nanoporous materials. It explains the reason why the storage of these gases with adsorption is difficult from the fundamentals in terms of gas-solid interaction. It consists of 14 chapters which describe fundamentals, application, key nanoporous materials (nanoporous carbon, metal organic frame works, zeolites) and their storage performance for hydrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. Thus, this book appeals to a wide readership of the academic and industrial researchers and it can also be used in the classroom for graduate students focusing on clean energy technology, green chemistry, energy conversion and storage, chemical engineering, nanomaterials science and technology, surface and interface science, adsorption science and technology, carbon science and technology, metal organic framework science, zeolite science, nanoporous materials science, nanotechnology, environmental protection, and gas sensors.

Porous materials are of great interest due to their wide applications in the fields of adsorption, energy storage, catalyst support, etc. Most of currently used methods rely on the use of corrosive or toxic chemicals to fabricate porous materials, which pose great risk to environment and increase production cost. The work focuses on development of novel methods to convert renewable biomass resources into porous materials. Two novel methods were developed in this study. For the first method, a facile catalytic graphitization process was applied on biomass resources to produce mesoporous magnetic nanocomposite. The effect of different metal precursors and metal precursor concentration was studied. For the second method, biomass resources were converted into porous carbon by a simple two-step procedure, annealing in nitrogen and oxidation in natural air. The resulting porous carbon materials show even higher surface area than commercial activated carbon. The mechanism of pore formation was also investigated by monitoring pore evolution at different oxidation temperature and duration. It was found three different structure evolution stages are involved. Then the proposed thermal oxidation method to produce porous carbon materials was extended to other lignocellulosic biomass resources including maple, bamboo and cotton. The performance of produced porous carbon materials in adsorption and supercapacitor was evaluated. To investigate the adsorption behavior in these porous carbon materials, methylene blue was used as probing molecule. A simple model that quantifies the adsorption capacity contribution from effective surface area was proposed. The relationship among adsorption capacity, effective specific surface area and adsorbate molecular size was analyzed in both macroscale and molecular level. To further enhance electrochemical performance, nitrogen doping was attempted on porous carbon fabrics. The nitrogen doping process is achieved by simply carbonizing a mixture of porous carbon and melamine. The nitrogen content can be easily tuned by controlling the mass ratio between melamine and porous carbon. Electrochemical performance of these carbon materials with different nitrogen doping levels was investigated and compared with other reported work.
