METHOD OF FORMING PORE IN GRAPHITIC-CARBON NANOMATERIAL AND METHOD OF INTRODUCING OXYGEN-CONTAINING GROUP INTO PORE

摘要

A method of forming pores in a graphitic-carbon nanomaterial, in which the rate of pore formation in the wall of the graphitic-carbon nanomaterial can be heightened and the amount of an oxygen-containing group, in particular carboxy, to be introduced can be significantly increased. Also provided is a method of introducing an oxygen-containing group into pores. The method of pore formation in a graphitic-carbon nanomaterial is characterized by forming pores in the wall of the graphitic-carbon nanomaterial in the presence of an oxidizing agent while irradiating the nanomaterial with a light emitted from a light source, the light comprising a light having a wavelength at which the oxidizing agent is activated.
