Cotton fibers (CF) and resorcinol and formaldehyde (RF) sol were used to synthesize composite cryogels. They were carbonized to prepare carbon/carbon (C/C) composite cryogels. In this work, the molar ratio of resorcinol to sodium carbonate (R/C), the mass concentration of resorcinol to distilled water (R/W) and the mass ratio of CF to RF (CF/RF) were changed as 100 and 200 mol/mol, 0.25 and 0.50 g/cm3 and 0.00 up to 0.64 g/g, respectively. The C/C composites were characterized by nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the mesopore structure of C/C composites could be controlled by the adjustment of an R/W or R/C ratio. Moreover, the mean micropore sizes of C/C composite cryogels were kept equivalently to those of normal carbon cryogels. The weighted arithmetic mean was well applied to the BET surface area and micropore surface area of C/C composites with the deviation of about 21% for the high R/C ratio; however, it poor for the low R/C ratio. The weighted arithmetic mean also estimated the micropore volume of C/C composite cryogels with the deviation of about 20% for the CF/RF ratio smaller than 0.40 g/g. Moreover, the weighted arithmetic mean can be used as a guideline to estimate the mesopore volume.

Porosity development of templated porous carbons dried by vacuum as carbon electrodes for electric double-layer capacitors
(2023-03-15)
Kraiwattanawong, Kriangsak
Resorcinol and formaldehyde (RF) resin serves as the carbon precursor for porous carbons and carbon/carbon composites possessing a high specific surface area (SSA). This work presents the porosity improvement by the elimination of cotton fibers (CF) from CF/RF composite hydrogels subsequently exchanged by tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), dried by vacuum, and carbonized. This route contributes the templated porous carbons (TPC) with an asymmetric structure comprising micropores, mesopores, and macropores. At 0.25 of the CF/RF weight ratio, TPC dried by vacuum apparatus has SSA of 2,102 m2 g−1, whereas TPC dried by evaporation only offers SSA of 663 m2 g−1. Using the vacuum acts as pseudo-freeze drying during TBA removal, forming sponge-like carbon and allowing ultra-high SSA. The electrochemical properties of vacuumed TPCs were analyzed, showing that TPC at 0.25 of the CF/RF weight ratio possessed 626 F g−1 more than TPC at 0.00 of the CF/RF weight ratio which had 392 F g−1 at 200 mA g−1.

Improvement of the textural properties of templated carbon xerogels using cotton fibres as a hard template dehydrated by sulphuric acid
(2019-02-01)
Kraiwattanawong, Kriangsak
Carbon xerogels have generally low textural properties compared with carbon aerogels and carbon cryogels since the gas-liquid interface produces a capillary force in small pores. In this work, the templated carbon xerogels (TCXs), using resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) and cotton fibres (CFs) as a hard template, were synthesized by CF removal from CF/RF composite hydrogels by sulphuric acid treatment. The TCX precursors were exchanged by t-butanol, dried by evaporation drying, and carbonized at high temperature. Scanning electron microscope images and Hg intrusion data confirm that TCXs possess macropores whose walls are the carbon xerogel scaffold. Their nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms also support that TCXs have micropores and mesopores. The quantities of micropores, mesopores and macropores are improved with the increase of CF utilization. X-ray diffraction allows us to know that TCXs have a graphitic structure. The intensity of D to G from the Raman spectra is also investigated.

Influence of evaporation drying on the porous properties of carbon/carbon composite xerogels

Carbon/carbon (C/C) composite xerogels dried by evaporation were prepared in this study to observe the change of their porous properties and their morphology by nitrogen sorption apparatus and a scanning electron microscope. Resorcinol and formaldehyde (RF) sols as a matrix phase and cotton fibers (CF) as a dispersed phase were mixed and gelated to be CF/RF composite hydrogels. The composite hydrogels were exchanged by t-butanol (TBA), dried by evaporation at 50◦C, and carbonized at 1000◦C to become the C/C composite xerogels. The results show that the CF addition does not decrease the mesoporous properties of the C/C composite xerogels. Moreover, the CF addition can alleviate the pore shrinkage, and it can maintain the mesopore structure. The mesopore size and the micropore size of C/C composites are insignificantly changed because the CF addition and the solvent exchange using TBA may suppress the pore shrinkage despite the gas-liquid interface existing during the evaporation drying.

Porous properties of carbon/carbon composite xerogels
(2018-01-01)
Kraiwattanawong, Kriangsak
Carbon/carbon composite xerogels are prepared by a vacuum drying technique whereas a carbon cryogel is synthesized by a freeze drying technique to compare the effect of these drying methods at the selective synthesis condition. Resorcinol and formaldehyde are used to prepare a matrix phase and cotton fibers are acted as a disperse phase of the carbon/carbon composite xerogels. Here resorcinol and formaldehyde is utilized to synthesize the carbon cryogel only. The carbon/carbon composite xerogels and the carbon cryogel were analyzed by a nitrogen adsorption apparatus and a field emission scanning electron microscope. The results support that the vacuum drying can decrease the pore shrinkage despite of the gas-liquid interface. The porous properties of the carbon xerogel is quite equivalent to the porous properties of the carbon cryogel. When the porous properties of carbon xerogels are considered, their porous properties can be preserved at the high porosity until 0.15 g/g of the cotton fibers/resorcinol ratio. At 0.25 g/g of this ratio, the porous properties start decreasingly.

Capacitive performance of binder-free carbon/carbon composite cryogels

A carbon/carbon (C/C) composite cryogel was prepared by pouring a resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) sol into vials containing cotton fibers, followed by solvent exchange with t-butanol, freeze drying and pyrolysis under inert atmosphere. The porous properties of C/C composites were analyzed by nitrogen adsorption, and their mesopore texture was observed by a scanning electron microscope. The capacitive performance of C/C composites was also analyzed by galvanostatic charge/discharge method and cyclic voltammetry. The results demonstrate that the capacitance can be increased with the increase of amount of cotton fibers added to C/C composites, because the broader micropore size distribution and the carbon tunnels of C/C composites promote the charge propagation inside the pore structure. The suitable pore texture and the carbon tunnels can play the crucial role relevant to the high surface area in order to obtain the high capacitance value. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Wattle tannin-furfural (TFu) carbon cryogels are synthesized by sol-gel polycondensation of wattle tannin with furfural by using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a catalyst, dried by freeze-drying technique and then pyrolyzed under inert atmosphere, respectively. The amounts of wattle tannin (T), furfural (Fu), NaOH (C) and distilled water (W) are changed for preparing the mesoporous TFu carbon cryogels. The mole ratio of tannin to catalyst T/C plays a crucial role for the synthesis of TFu organic and carbon cryogels. The results suggest that the T/C ratio should be above 0.25 but <1.0 to prepare the mesoporous and homogeneous cryogels. Although TFu carbon cryogels have the broad mesopore size distribution, the mesoporous structure is controllable by the synthesis conditions. The carbon cryogels possess the mesopore volume less than 0.56 cm3/g and the BET surface area less than 600 m2/g. Moreover, the ratio of catalyst to water C/W can be used to prepare the homogeneous and mesoporous carbon cryogels, and to control the mesopore radius of carbon cryogels in the range of 1.6-9.6 nm. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

A carbon/carbon (C/C) composite cryogel was prepared by putting almost the maximum content of cotton fibers in vials and then filling them with resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) sols, followed by solvent exchange with t-butanol, freeze drying and pyrolysis under inert atmosphere. The mesopore structure of C/C composite cryogels was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and their porous structures were characterized by nitrogen adsorption and mercury porosimetry. The SEM images confirm that the C/C composite cryogels, being heterogeneous carbon materials, possess ordinary carbon cryogels and carbon tunnels. Here, the tunnels are comprised of (i) carbon fibers, (ii) spaces between carbon fibers and nanoporous carbon spheres, (iii) nanoporous carbon spheres with surrounding nanocages, and (iv) dense ring structures. The formation model of carbon tunnels is also proposed. The porous properties of cryogels could be changed by the cotton fiber addition and the synthesis conditions. The results support that the synthesis condition of RF sol determines the porous properties of C/C composite cryogels. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The effect of HCl treatment on the porous properties of carbon cryogels synthesized from resorcinol and formaldehyde (RF) is investigated in this work. The treated and untreated carbon cryogels were analyzed with a nitrogen adsorption-desorption apparatus, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). The results show that the HCl treatment can enlarge the micropore diameter which is advantageous to electric double layer capacitors, and can broaden the mesopore diameter, which is advantageous to mesoporous carbon supports of catalysts. The micropore volume, mesopore volume and weight loss of the carbon cryogel are not significantly changed by the HCl treatment. Moreover, SEM images and HPLC chromatograms support that the HCl treatment can promote the Ostwald ripening effect for RF carbon cryogels. © 2011 The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan.

I am very sorry because I had checked my article and its SI document again. I found a mistake about the y-axis in Fig. 10(b) and Fig. S4–S6. The correct y-axis is “Voltage (V)”, but I made the mistake in the article “Capacitance (F/g)”. The author would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
