Structural Features of Mesoproous Carbon Materials Synthesized by Alkaline Carbonization of Phenol-Furfurol and Hydroquinone-Furfurol Mixtures
The structural characteristics of mainly mesoporous carbon materials synthesized through alkaline carbonization of hydroquinone-furfurol and phenol-furfurol mixtures were studied using a set of physicochemical methods (X-ray phase analysis, Raman spectroscopy, TEM and SEM, low temperature nitrogen adsorption). It was shown that the structural fragments of synthesized materials are composed of randomly oriented graphene planes and their layered aggregates. The average size of crystal-ordered regions is 12-15 Е.
