Preparation of hierarchical porous carbon by post activation

a b s t r a c t A series of hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs) have been prepared by a combination of soft-templating and post activation. As evidenced by N2 sorption tests, the pristine mesopores were basically preserved and micropores were generated on the mesopore wall of mesoporous carbon (MC). The micropore generation on the mesoporous skeleton can be controlled by simply adjusting the…
