Liquid-Crystal Templating in Ammonia: A Facile Route to Micro-and Mesoporous Metal Nitride/Carbon Composites

摘要

Microporous (pore size < 2 nm), mesoporous (pore size 2-50 nm) and macroporous materials (pore size > 50 nm) have long captured the imaginations of scientists and are important to numerous technological processes, such as hydrocracking, ion exchange, adsorbents, and catalysis. The porosity of solid-state materials can be defined through the use of a template, which can be molecular, polymeric, or supramolec-ular.
