TY - JOUR AU - Naumann, Stefan TI - Strategies for Pore-Diameter Control in Mesoporous Carbons Derived from Organic Self-Assembly Processes SN - 2625-1825 PY - 2021 JF - Organic Materials LA - EN VL - 03 IS - 02 SP - 283 EP - 294 DA - 2021/05/17 ET - 2021/03/22 KW - mesoporous carbons KW - soft-templating KW - pore size control AB - Soft-templating techniques have greatly facilitated access to (ordered) mesoporous carbon materials. A key strength of these approaches is that the resulting material can be shaped by a multitude of parameters – rendering soft-templating inherently versatile regarding features such as pore arrangement or pore sizes. Nonetheless, rational manipulation of pore sizes/diameters, let alone a systematic variation thereof, remains a formidable challenge with high relevance for research fields as diverse as catalysis, sensing or energy storage and conversion. Thus, this Short Review aims to provide a structured account of the most frequently employed strategies to impact mesopore diameters in carbon materials derived via soft-templating.1. Introduction2.
