Novel microporous carbon material with flower like structure templated by MCM-22.
Novel flower like microporous carbons with very high surface area have been synthesized for the first time using MCM-22 zeolite as a template and sucrose as a carbon source. The textural parameters of the materials can easily be tuned by the simple adjustment of the sucrose to MCM-22 weight ratio. It has been also found that the specific surface area of the microporous carbon materials is much higher as compared with that of its parent zeolite template.
