General description

Carbon, mesoporous is a carbonaceous material with high surface area, chemical inertness, biocompatibility, thermal stability and electrical conductivity. It can be prepared by a variety of methods such as hydrogen bonding interaction, and freeze drying. Mesoporous carbon materials have been categorized based on their pore diameter (2 nm < pore size < 50nm).
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Application

Carbon, mesoporous can be used for a variety of applications such as fuel cell, lithium ion batteries, lithium sulfur batteries, double-layer capacitor and hydrogen evolution.

Mesoporous Materials Synthesis

Mesoporous materials are formed by a self-assembly process from combined solutions of sol-gel precursors (e.g., metal alkoxides) and structure-directing amphiphiles, usually block-copolymers or surfactants.

Strategy for Toxicity Screening of Nanomaterials

A key challenge for nanomaterial safety assessment is the ability to handle the large number of newly engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), including developing cost-effective methods that can be used for hazard screening.

Bio-Inspired “Green” Synthesis of Nanomaterials and their Applications

Silica is a very popular inorganic nanomaterial used in a wide range of applications including fillers for rubber, catalyst supports, separation media, carriers in food and agriculture, and abrasive/anticaking agents in cosmetics. It is also widely believed to be an important material for biomedical applications for following reasons.
