摘要
We present a novel approach for the synthesis of large-pore mesoporous carbon with a highly porous structure, based on an oil/water (O/W) emulsion templating method. For the formation of oil-in-water emulsions with nanoscale oil droplets, polyvinylpyrrolidone was used as an emulsifier. Mesoporous carbon materials with large mesopores were successfully synthesized via a three-step process: (1) polymerization in the oil-in-water emulsion, (2) filtration, and (3) carbonization. We confirmed that the pore size of the carbon can be significantly reduced through a modified O/W emulsion method. The mesoporous carbon materials prepared without an activation step exhibited an appreciable surface area (705 m(2)/g) and a noticeable capacitive performance of similar to 100 F/g at 2.0 A/g. We believe that the approach presented here can be widely applied to the synthesis of mesoporous carbon using various carbon sources, and the structural properties of the mesoporous carbon can be improved through proper optimization.
