title: Preparation of a self-standing mesoporous carbon membrane with perpendicularly-ordered pore structures.
abstract: A self-standing mesoporous carbon membrane (sOMC) with perpendicularly-ordered pore structures was prepared through a simple synthetic method; the pores with a diameter of 8 nm were well ordered over a large area and perpendicularly-oriented to the surface without any external field; in the formation of this ordered structure, the drying process is key, and a porous alumina support is important to induce drying.
