Synthesis of nanoporous functional materials for the chemical industry

In this study, we synthesized samples of nanoporous carbon materials (NCM) from polymer raw materials. The influence of the conditions of the synthesis process (the mass ratio of the activating agent to the precursor) on the structure of the obtained samples has been studied. Varying the mass ratio of the activating agent to the precursor made it possible to obtain microporous, micromesoporous, and mesoporous carbon materials. Methane adsorption has been researched in a wide pressure range. The highest adsorption of methane, equal to ≈ 20 mmol/g at 100 bar and 298 K, is achieved on a sample with a ratio of the activating agent KOH to carbonized precursor 6:1 (6NCM).
