直接炭化柠檬酸/磷酸铝前驱体合成介孔炭材料

simple and efficient route is reported for the synthesis of mesoporous carbon materials via carbonization of a kind of composite containing citric acid and aluminum phosphate (CA/AlPO). The pore size of the mesoporous carbon can be tuned in a certain range by addition of suitable amount of sucrose into the CA/AlPO composite. The characteristic results show that these carbon material possesses uniform pore size distribution and graphitic phase characteristic. The mesostructured AlPO, which is in-situ formed during the carbonization process, can be regarded as a hard-template for the formation of porous carbon material. The uniform distribution of citric acid, and the suitable interaction between citric acid and aluminum phosphate play important roles in the growth process of carbon network.
