“…Along with fundamentally interesting 0D, 1D, and 2D allotropes, such as fullerenes, nanotubes and graphene, 3D porous carbon architectures are useful in many emerging energy related applications, [1,2] such as battery anodes, electrode materials for supercapacitors, and catalyst supports in fuel cells. [1,[7][8][9] Among those, activated and templated carbons are the most widely studied, but carbide-derived carbons (CDCs) produced by the thermal or thermochemical removal of metals from carbides have received much attention in the past decade.
