Flexible Coral-like Carbon Nanoarchitectures via a Dual Block Copolymer–Latex Templating Approach
Novel,
hierarchical, micro- (<2 nm), meso-/small macro- (50–60
nm), and large macro- (2–5 μm) trimodal porous functional
carbon monoliths with flexible pore widths and wall textures are fabricated
hydrothermally via a one-pot, dual block copolymer–latex templating
approach. The trimodal carbon monoliths exhibit a coral-like nanoarchitecture,
consisting of a 3D continuous carbon branch network, in which an inverse
opal-type nanostructure with ordered pore wall texture is embedded,
possessing high surface area (e.g., >800 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>–1</sup>), large pore volume, and highly layered porosities. The coadded
block copolymer plays a triple role in the formation of the porous
nanoarchitectures during hydrothermal synthesis: (1) in the formation
of inverse opal pores by latex destabilization, (2) in the formation
of an ordered microporous carbon wall texture by soft templating effect,
and (3) in the formation of a micrometer-sized 3D continuous void
by controlling the degree of spinodal phase separation. All the above
nanostructuring chemistries are controllable via a simple variation
in hydrothermal treatment temperature and reagent/template ratios
offering nanostructural flexibility at multiple length scales, while
the mild synthesis temperatures provide useful surface functionalities.
The resulting materials are promising candidates for applications
including (bio)Âelectrochemistry (e.g., biofuel cells) or as biological
scaffolds or separation media
