Catalytic Properties of 3D Graphene-Like Microporous Carbons Synthesized in a Zeolite Template
2018
The inherent properties of a single atomic carbon layer in graphene offer opportunities for the creation of catalytically active centers tailored on a molecular level on a support with high thermal stability and very high specific surface area. We demonstrate that organization of the two-dimensional system of the carbon layer into three-dimensional (3D) graphene-like catalytic materials with the connectivity of a pore network providing good accessibility to the active centers allows the preparation of catalytic materials that exploit the properties of graphene. In this study, 3D graphene-like microporous carbons, denoted as β-carbon and Y-carbon, were synthesized by nanocasting of beta (*BEA) and faujasite (FAU) zeolite templates. Structural analyses show that the materials are characterized by 3D-assembled and highly stable single-atom graphene layers that form an open porous system resembling the regular channel system of the zeolites with a specific surface area comparable to the surface area of graphe...
