Abstract

In this research the fabrication of carbon aerogel is reported. nanopore carbon aerogels were prepared via a sol-gel process with resorcinol and formaldehyde (RF) aerogels,which were cost-effectively manufacture form Rf wet gels by an ambient drying technique instead of conventional supercritical drying. The key of the work is to fabricate carbon aerogels with controllable nanopore structure, which means sharp pore size distribution and extremely high surface area.The influence of preparation condition of carbon aerogels was studied by scanning electron microscope and Micropore Physisorption Analyzer. The BET surface of the carbon aerogels are from 749m2/g to 1156m2/g .The size of the carbon nanoparticles are in the range of 20nm~40nm. The micro-pore volume and bore diameter can be controlled by gelation conditions such as RF mass fraction.
