Download or read book Porous Carbons written by Feiyu Kang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Download or read book Porosity in Carbons written by John W. Patrick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1995-01-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Porosity in carbons often means different things to different people depending largely on the different applications of the various carbon materials. On the one hand, users involved in gas purification or respiratory protection are concerned primarily with microporosity, and at the other extreme, the user of carbon in the form of metallurgical coke is concerned with macroporosity because of its influence on the mechanical properties of the coke. Between these extremes there is a range of applications which rely on different aspects of the nature of the porous structure and the characterization required reflects the particular application in mind. This characterization of a wide diversity of porous structures presents some problems. However recent developments have produced some solutions, for example computerized image analysis has facilitated the measurement of pore shape and size. The eleven chapters in this book present an analysis of the current methods of characterization and the role of various aspects of carbon porosity in some representative and diverse applications.
