Abstract
An attempt was made to prepare porous carbon by using the channels of Y zeolite as a template. Poly(acrylonitrile) and poly(furfuryl alcohol) were carbonized in the zeolite channels and the resultant carbon/zeolite complexes were subjected to acid treatment in order to extract carbon from the zeolite framework. In addition, pyrolytic carbon deposition in the channels was carried out by exposing the zeolite to propylene at high temperature, and then the carbon was liberated in the same manner as above. The morphology and structure of the carbon prepared in the channels were characterized, and the results were discussed in relation to the morphology and structure of the original zeolite template. It was found that the microscopic morphology of the resultant carbons reflects that of the corresponding zeolites. All of these carbons are highly porous, and some of the CVD carbons have BET surface areas as high as > 2000 m2/g.
