| Abstract |
An attempt is made to demonstrate nanoporosity and nanomorphology of mesoporous carbons replicated from our porous geopolymer template with the low voltage high resolution scanning electron microscopy (LVHR-SEM). In this study, the SEM observation could be made not only for the porous geopolymer but also for the porous carbon with clear images on intra-wall pores, uniform cylindrical pores and packed nanowires. In addition, the CO2 uptake capacity for this prepared porous carbon is carefully analyzed. Different from porous carbons conventionally prepared with porous silica template, which is in general synthesized from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as a silicon precursor, the present novel geopolymer template route to porous carbons is suggested not only to induce higher specific surface areas and larger pore volumes but also to provide a cost effective way of synthetic process compared to the conventional TEOS one. The porous geopolymer prepared from metakaolin (PG) is observed to be structured with hexagonal channels revealing unique and well-ordered mesopores of 7.20 nm as well as micropores, those which are connected with mesopores each other. The porous carbon rods (CPG) are effectively replicated from the PG template to form regularly packed and ordered structure with such high BET surface area (~ 1500 m2/g) and pore volume (~ 1.5 cm3/g) as demonstrated by such a high CO2 uptake capacity of 26.3 mmol/g at 273k and 30 atm due to the presence of mesopores and micropores appropriately. |
