Abstract
Mesostructured carbon has been obtained by template synthesis. SBA-15 mesostructured silicate has been used as a template. The effect of the properties of a template on the ordering of a replica has been studied. It has been shown with the use of X-ray diffraction, gas adsorption, and electron microscopy that there are evident correlations of the conditions of synthesis of a template with the ordering of a carbon replica, which can be guided by the synthesis of materials. The ordering of a replica significantly depends on the mesopore volume of the initial template and thickness of the pore wall. One should use templates with the highest possible mesopore volume and minimal wall thickness to obtain highly ordered replicas. These templates can be prepared during the treatment of synthesized materials at temperatures close to 100°C. It has been determined that, when there is SBA-15, the presence of micropores is a necessary condition for the preparation of carbon replicas that retain the structure of the template.
