Synthesis and properties of a new generation of carbon materials from the Sibunit family modified with silicon compounds

Abstract

The latest advances in the synthesis of granulated carbon-carbon materials based on nanodispersed globular and pyrolytic carbons modified with silicon or its compounds at the Institute of Hydrocarbons Processing, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences are considered. The methods and main regularities of the synthesis and the physicochemical properties of silicon-containing composite materials like C/SiO2, C/SiO2/C, and SiO2/C are discussed. It is shown that the synthesis of modified nanocomposites with the use of polyorganosiloxanes is a promising line in the development of silicon-containing carbon-carbon materials. In this work, a nontraditional approach to the production of mesoporous silicon dioxide based on nanodispersed globular carbon and polyorganosiloxanes is proposed.
