Nanoporous carbon materials: introduction and applications

One of the most important issues in human societies today is environmental protection and recycling materials, and given the limited resources of oil, coal and gas that drive industrial wheels. Humanity is looking for a way to optimal use of these non-renewable industries. Porous carbon due to its high surface area and high porosity can be used in the fields: Catalytic, Recycling, Isolation, Storage, Pharmaceuticals and.The molecular design of porous carbon materials to adjust their intrinsic properties Such as: Gas and electric conduction or checking their interaction with guest molecules. This paper examines two top-down and down-and-up strategies towards the production of porous amorphous and crystalline carbon، Types of templates for the synthesis of porous carbon، Factors affect in design of porous carbon cavities، Various types of porous carbon and finally, the application of porous carbon materials.
