CARBON MATERIALS COMPRISING NANO STRUCTURES

摘要

A method is disclosed of making a nano-structured carbon material by:- A)i)providing a porous carbon material having porosity; ii)impregnating a metallic material capable of catalyzing carbon nano structure growth within the porosity of the porous carbon material of step i) to provide an impregnated porous carbon material; or, B)providing an impregnated porous carbon material produced bysteps i) and ii); and, C)heating the impregnated porous carbon material to a temperature sufficient to promote carbon nano structure growth within the porosity of the carbon material to provide a nano-structured carbon material. The resulting material can be loaded with metal oxides.
