Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods of forming an N-doped carbon nanofoam, which finds particular use as a fuel storage material. The N-doped carbon nanofoam is produced by introducing nitrogen to a carbon nanofoam, said nitrogen being introduced during or after formation of the carbon nanofoam. Many sources of nitrogen are useful including non-aqueous nitrogen sources. The method of the disclosure allows for large scale production of N-doped carbon nanofoams.
Claims16
A method of forming an N-doped carbon nanofoam comprising the steps of
- i. providing a mixture of sugar, water, and hydrocarbon mediator;
- ii. heating said mixture in the presence of a nitrogen source at 400° C. to 800° C. to form an N-doped carbon nanofoam;
- iii. optionally, pitting the formed N-doped carbon nanofoam.
