Abstract
Porous carbon materials are widely used in separation, catalysis and energy storage/conversion. We have synthesized a new porous carbon material by solvent evaporation induced self assembly method using hydroquinone/formaldehyde as a precursor which can help self assembly with template triblock copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO (F127). The template removal have resulted the porous carbon material (PCM) framework upon carbonization. We have also prepared porous carbon fibers (PCF) using kapok fibers along with hydroquinone/formaldehyde/F127 and observed its ethylene adsorption capacity. Kapok fibers were obtained from the plant species Ceiba pentandra. The characterization of PCM and PCF were accomplished by microanalysis, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis, elemental analysis and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm. The prepared carbon materials (PCM and PCF) showed excellent gas absorption ability towards ethylene gas at room temperature as well as at 50 °C.
