TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of mesoporous polymers and carbon frameworks from organic−organic assembly of triblock copolymers with soluble, low-molecular-weight phenolic resin precursors (resols) by an evaporation induced self-assembly strategy has been reported.

TL;DR: A membrane-scale nanofluidic device with asymmetric structure, chemical composition, and surface charge polarity, termed ionic diode membrane (IDM), for harvesting electric power from salinity gradient and anticipates wide potentials for sustainable power generation, water purification, and desalination.

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical three-dimensional (3-D) mesostructures with small and large mesopores with pore diameters centered at 4.0 and 43 nm, respectively, have been successfully synthesized via a nanocasting approach by using spherical mesoporous cellular silica foams as a hard template, and ethylenediamine and carbon tetrachloride as precursors.

TL;DR: In this article, a mesoporous carbon material with hierarchical foam-like pore structures was synthesized by a dual-templating strategy using phenolic resol as a carbon source, Pluronic F127 and spherical silica mesocellular foams (Si-MCFs) as the soft and hard template, respectively.

TL;DR: These free-standing mesoporous carbon films with cracking-free uniform morphology can be transferred or bent on different surfaces, especially with the aid of the soft polymer layer transfer technique, thus allowing for a variety of potential applications in electrochemistry and biomolecule separation.
