On the use of mesophase pitch for the preparation of hierarchical porous carbon monoliths by nanocasting

A detailed study is given on the synthesis of a hierarchical porous carbon, possessing both meso- and macropores, using a mesophase pitch (MP) as the carbon precursor. This carbon material is prepared by the nanocasting approach involving the replication of a porous silica monolith (hard templating)...
