title: Direct carbonization of Al-based porous coordination polymer for synthesis of nanoporous carbon.
abstract: Nanoporous carbon (NPC) is prepared by direct carbonization of Al-based porous coordination polymers (Al-PCP). By applying the appropriate carbonization temperature, both high surface area and large pore volume are realized for the first time. Our NPC shows much higher porosity than other carbon materials (such as activated carbons and mesoporous carbons). This new type of carbon material exhibits superior sensing capabilities toward toxic aromatic substances.
