*Abstract

Cornell researchers have developed gyroidal mesoporous carbon matrix via a silica-free, metal- and halogen-free process that offers exceptional conductivity properties, stability, chemical inertness and low density. Due to organic-organic assembly, the pore sizes are large, narrowly dispersed and reproducible. Both double and single gyroidal carbon networks have been synthesized.

 

Technical Merits

  • Reduces typical diffusion distance from micronsto nanometers, resulting in a reduction in diffusion time by 106
  • The synthesis eliminates undesirable extra stepsfor removal of hazardous chemicals
  • High thermal stability to at least 1600ºC
  • Large mesoporosity up to 1.77 cm3/g.

  

Potential Applications

Electrodes in fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors

 

Advantages

  • Increased surface area as compared to linear pores orcurrent standard batteries
  • Functions independent of orientation due to gyroidal poreshape
  • Batteries could charge in minutes versus hours, for currenttechnology, due to decrease in diffusion distance
  • Three-dimensionally connected porosity allows for goodaccessibility and prevents total pore blockage while the continuous carbonmatrix acts as a conductive framework
  • Overcomes the large ohmic losses that occur in similarmaterials that contain a polymeric binder
