TL;DR: This article proposed a nomenclature for two-dimensional carbons that could guide authors toward a more precise description of their subject materials, and could allow the field to move forward with a higher degree of common understanding.

TL;DR: In this article, a review describes the recent activities in Japan on the study of pore structure control in carbon, focusing on the control of both micro- and mesoporosity.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent publications about templated nanocarbons and their composites used for energy storage applications, including hydrogen storage, electrochemical capacitors, and lithium-ion batteries to clarify the true significance of the templations for each application.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt was made to prepare porous carbon by using the channels of Y zeolite as a template, where poly(acrylonitrile) and poly(furfuryl alcohol) were carbonized in the channels and the resultant carbon/zeolite complexes were subjected to acid treatment in order to extract carbon from the ZO framework.

TL;DR: This work reports a carbon with a density of 1.58 g cm−3, 70% of the density of graphite, constructed of compactly interlinked graphene nanosheets, which is produced by an evaporation-induced drying of a graphene hydrogel, and has a volumetric capacitance for electrochemical capacitors (ECs) up to 376 F cm+3, the highest value so far reported for carbon materials in an aqueous
