“…Conventional activation methods can lead to high surface areas but without graphitization [12]. High temperature treatment is an effective way to form well-developed graphitic structure, but high energy consumption is unavoidable during the high temperature treatment [11,13]. Besides, high temperature will decrease the surface area and pore volume of activated carbons [14].…”

“…Fuertes et al demonstrated preparation of graphitic mesoporous carbons with an electrical conductivity of 0.3 S cm ¹1 using poly(vinyl chloride) as the carbon precursor. 362,363 They also synthesized graphitic carbons using polypyrrole as the carbon precursor and FeCl 3 as the catalyst, which promoted the formation of a graphitic structure. The material obtained showed a superior performance for electrochemical double-layer capacitors over nongraphitic carbons.…”

Although mesoporous materials have well-defined pore structures, these fine materials can surprisingly be produced by employing a set of conventional and simple procedures such as mixing, heating, filtration, and washing, using low-cost materials. They can be regarded as easy-to-make bulk nanostructured materials. Mesoporous materials have great potential for use in both macroscopic applications and nanotechnology. In this account, we introduce examples of recent developments in mesoporous materials involving innovations in their components and structural designs and concentrating on our own recent progress. These examples include syntheses of mesoporous silica, metal oxides, semiconductive materials, metals, alloys, organic composites, biomaterial composites, carbon, carbon nitride, and boron nitride, as innovative components. As structural innovations for mesoporous materials, various film preparations, pore alignments, and hierarchic structures are described together with their related functions including sensing and controlled release of target molecules. Why Mesoporous Materials? Bulk Quantities and Precise StructuresThere is little doubt that nanotechnology and related technologies are making significant contributions to current research and development which will eventually be felt in our day-to-day lives. Device miniaturization in such products as cellular phones and portable computers has irrevocably changed our lifestyles. Portable devices allow us to work and communicate wherever we are in the world in contrast to the previous situation where machine operation required a human presence. Greater freedom in our work and leisure dispositions should diminish over-concentration of populations in cities and may ultimately reduce energy consumption and waste production.So far, device innovations have been due to development of top-down approaches, especially sophisticated microfabrication techniques. 17 However, those top-down techniques are not useful for materials innovation where chemical processes are used as the operating principle. Rather, so-called bottom-up approaches are expected to create novel functional materials having well-controlled structural features with nanometric precision. Bottom-up approaches rely on self-assembly processes to form selected structures through spontaneous association of atoms, molecules, clusters, and particles. 818 Furthermore, assisted assembly techniques using external influences are provided by LangmuirBlodgett (LB) method 1928 and layer-by-layer (LbL) adsorption 2936 and provide significant contributions for materials' fabrication. According to these concepts, molecular complex formation, 3741 molecular array control, 4252 and microscopic structural design 5361 have been widely investigated leading to generation of a large quantity of scientific knowledge.Ideally, materials should be produced in a series of easy processes to yield bulk quantity without loss of nanometric structural features and some categories of material already satisfy this condition.

“…Graphitization instead, drives to the condensation of sp 2 platelets, which lose the functional groups acquired during the activation process. This treatment is performed at temperatures above 2000 °C in inert atmosphere (Asaka et al 2011;Fuertes and Alvarez 2004;Ōya and Marsh 1982) or between 800 °C and 1000 °C in the case of catalytic graphitization (Barbera et al 2014;Sevilla and Fuertes 2006;Zhai et al 2011).…”

This paper is a concise review on the principal physical-chemical techniques available to investigate the structural and surface properties of activated carbons (ACs) for catalytic applications. The same activated carbon has been characterized by an incredible amount of techniques: Solid State-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, X-Ray Powder Diffraction and Raman spectroscopy for structural characterization, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Inelastic Neutron Scattering and FT-IR spectroscopy for surface analysis, instead. The main goal is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all the techniques and to propose a multi-technique approach that should help in avoiding misinterpretations, as often found in the specialized literature.
