Shi Su and co-authors from Australia have prepared carbon composite monoliths with superior CO2 adsorption properties and hierarchical macroporous-microporous structures.
They prepared the monoliths by mixing a commercial phenolic resin with a small amount of carbon nanotubes followed by carbonization and physical activation with CO2. Their method is simple and low-cost, and may pave the way for more general use of carbon nanotubes in hierarchically porous structured composites for energy and environmental applications.
