Kohlenstoffgerüsten

Kohlenstoffgerüsten, also known as carbon scaffolds, are three-dimensional porous structures primarily composed of carbon. These materials possess a unique combination of high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and tunable pore structures, making them attractive for various scientific and technological applications. Their fabrication often involves template-assisted methods or the controlled pyrolysis of organic precursors. The resulting architecture can range from ordered frameworks with interconnected pores to more disordered but highly porous networks. The specific properties of a Kohlenstoffgerüst are heavily influenced by its synthesis route, the precursor materials used, and the resulting pore size and connectivity.

One of the key advantages of Kohlenstoffgerüsten is their high surface area, which can be hundreds or even thousands of square meters per gram. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in applications such as adsorption, catalysis, and energy storage. The porous nature allows for efficient diffusion of reactants and products in catalytic processes, or the storage of ions and molecules in batteries and supercapacitors. Furthermore, the inherent electrical conductivity of carbon allows these scaffolds to function effectively in electrochemical devices. Research continues to explore novel synthesis methods and functionalization strategies to tailor Kohlenstoffgerüsten for specific performance enhancements in areas like gas separation, water purification, and advanced composite materials.
