Carbon foam: Preparation and application

Synthesis of Graphenic Carbon Materials on Nickel Particles with Controlled Quantity of Carbon

“…After thermal drying, carbon body samples were looking like the GCM paper samples. After freeze-drying carbon body samples had the form of GCM sponge [19] (Fig. 1(c) and Fig.…”

Liquefaction of oak tree bark with different biomass/phenol mass ratios and utilizing bio-based polyols for carbon foam production

“…Carbon foams are rigid, porous materials consisting of an interconnected network of ligaments [2] and have high surface areas, structural stability, low density, and good thermal conductivity [3]. Current application examples include high temperature insulation, adsorption separation, electromagnetic shielding, substrates for catalysis, filters, thermal energy storage as container and enhancer of thermal conductivity, various electrochemical measurements as porous electrodes, storage batteries, radar absorption, and ablation panels [3][4][5][6][7]. Precursor types, synthesis methods, structure and properties affect the carbon foam application area and structure (graphitic or non-graphitic) [7,8].…”

Nitrogen Adsorption on Graphene Sponges Synthesized by Annealing a Mixture of Nickel and Carbon Powders

“…It can be explained by a variety of morphological properties of carbon materials known as activated carbons, carbon blacks and carbon nanotubes, cones, fibres, bulbs, graphenes, graphene aerogels, foams and sponges [4], [5].…”

“…In recent years, the assembly of graphene into macroscopic (3D) structures has attracted intensive interest because the use of 3D graphene is one of the most effective ways of applying the unique properties of 2D graphene nanosheets in practice [4], [7]. Graphene 3D structures consist of flexible graphene nanosheets, which are interconnected into porous networks.…”
