Abstract The desire for multivariable applications has encouraged extensive study to exploit multi-functional carbon materials owing to their superior physicochemical properties, wide availability, and massive productivity. In particular, the design of a porous architecture is the key to manipulating their function, thereby promoting the practicality. This paper suggests a simple and scalable synthetic process to prepare mesostructured porous carbon derived by pseudo metal-organic coordination. Inspired by metal-organic framework synthesis, the zinc ion is selected to function as both a mesostructure inducer and self-vanishing porogen, thereby enabling the direct carbonization of non-carbonizable precursors without complicated and environmental burden steps. The resulting porous carbon materials possess mesostructured morphologies, resembling diverse metal oxide crystals with distinct pore architectures, which can be tailored for various applications. Furthermore, the functionalities of the resulting mesostructured porous carbon are demonstrated by evaluating the adsorption behavior for large molecules and the electrochemical performance of the sulfur cathode for Li–S batteries.

伪金属-有机配位衍生的不可碳化羧酸盐有机分子一步碳化向功能性介孔结构多孔碳

摘要 由于多功能碳材料具有优异的物理化学性质、广泛的可用性和巨大的生产力，对多变量应用的渴望鼓励了对其进行广泛研究以开发多功能碳材料。尤其是多孔结构的设计是操纵其功能的关键，从而提升了实用性。本文提出了一种简单且可扩展的合成方法来制备由假金属有机配位衍生的介孔结构多孔碳。受金属-有机骨架合成的启发，选择锌离子作为介观结构诱导剂和自消失致孔剂，从而使不可碳化的前体直接碳化，而无需复杂和环境负担的步骤。所得多孔碳材料具有介观结构形态，类似于具有不同孔结构的多种金属氧化物晶体，可针对各种应用进行定制。此外，通过评估大分子的吸附行为和锂硫电池硫正极的电化学性能，证明了所得介孔结构多孔碳的功能。
