Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Ultra-Large-Pore SBA-15 Silica with Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Structure Using Triisopropylbenzene As Micelle Expander
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to select a micelle swelling agent with a moderate swelling ability to achieve an appreciable pore diameter enlargement while avoiding the formation of heterogeneous and/or poorly defined nanostructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of mesoporous carbons using ordered and disordered mesoporous silica templates and polyacrylonitrile as carbon precursor
Michal Kruk,Bruno Dufour,Ewa B. Celer,Tomasz Kowalewski,Mietek Jaroniec,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski +5 more
TL;DR: The use of the novel infiltration method and PAN as a carbon precursor allowed us to obtain ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) with a desirable combination of features that has not been realized before for OMCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grafting Monodisperse Polymer Chains from Concave Surfaces of Ordered Mesoporous Silicas
Michal Kruk,Bruno Dufour,Ewa B. Celer,Tomasz Kowalewski,Mietek Jaroniec,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to graft uniform layers of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate), and polystyrene on concave surfaces of cylindrical mesopores of diameter ∼10 nm and spherical mesopore of diameter ≥15 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partially graphitic, high-surface-area mesoporous carbons from polyacrylonitrile templated by ordered and disordered mesoporous silicas
Michal Kruk,K. Kohlhaas,Bruno Dufour,Ewa B. Celer,Mietek Jaroniec,Krzysztof Matyjaszewski,Rodney S. Ruoff,Tomasz Kowalewski +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the high-temperature treatment of mesoporous carbons from PAN affords partially graphitic carbons with high specific surface areas and large pore volumes.
