Facile synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons from F108/resorcinol–formaldehyde composites obtained in basic media

Abstract

Highly ordered mesoporous carbon with cubic Im3m symmetry has been synthesized successfully via a direct carbonization of self-assembled F108 (EO(132)PO(50)EO(132)) and resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) composites obtained in a basic medium of nonaqueous solution.
