Abstract: | Micro- and mesoporous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) was synthesised from molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) powder by gas phase chlorination in the temperature range from 400 to 1200 °C. Analysis of XRD results show that C(Mo2C), chlorinated at 1200 °C, consist mainly on graphitic crystallites of mean size, La = 9 nm and Lc = 7.5 nm. The first-order Raman spectra showed the graphite-like absorption peak at ∼1587 cm−1 and the disorder-induced (D) peak at ∼1348 cm−1. The low-temperature N2 adsorption experiments were performed and a specific surface area up to 1855 m2 g−1 and total pore volume up to 1.399 cm3 g−1 were obtained. Sorption measurements showed the presence of both micro- and mesopores after chlorination at 400-900 °C and only mesopores after chlorination at 1000°-1200 °C. Stepwise formation of micro- and mesopores was achieved and the peak pore size can be shifted from 0.8 nm up to 4 nm by increasing the chlorination temperature. |
