A novel crabshell bio-template route to synthesize hierarchically ordered carbon materials

Porous carbon material with acid alkaline, corrosion-resistant, high temperature, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and a series of advantages properties, these carbon materials have been widely used in water purification, gas separation, chromatographic analysis, adsorption, catalyst carrier, supercapacitors as well as areas such as fuel cells.Template method provides a new technology for synthesizing hierarchically ordered carbon materials and has currently become one of the most popular topics in the advanced materials preparation. A novel biomorphic carbon materials were prepared using a crab shell bio-template.The physical and chemical properties of the as-obtained carbon materials were characterized by techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results suggested that the bio-template method prepared porous biomorphic carbon materials consist of hollow macro-mesoporous.
