Abstract

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) with an intergrown two-dimensional p6mm and three-dimensional Fd3m pore structure have been prepared by the carbonization of reverse copolymer-phenolic resin composites, which were themselves formed by a soft-template method by simply adjusting the ratios of ethanol and hexane. The microstructure of the OMCs was analyzed by small-angle X-ray scattering, nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed the structure of the OMCs obtained have the mesophase transition from p6mm to the intergrowth of p6mm/Fd3m and finally to Fd3m as the ratio of ethanol to hexane is changed.
