Abstract:
1. Porous carbon: which is a carbonization and optionally an activation product of a precursor resin; which has a pore structure that, as estimated by nitrogen adsorption porosimetry, comprises micropores and mesopores/macropores; said micropores and mesopores/macropores being in a bimodal distribution with few pores of size 2-10 nm observable in a plot of the differential of pore volume V with respect to the logarithm of pore radius R (dV/d log R) by a minimum in said plot within said range; and the mesopores/macropores providing escape routes for volatile products during carbonisation of the precursor resin.
