SupercriticalC
SupercriticalC is a term used in materials science to describe a class of carbon-based materials engineered to operate in a supercritical state under practical temperatures and pressures. In this state, the material combines gas-like diffusivity with liquid-like solvating power, enabling transport and reaction properties not available in conventional carbon materials. The concept applies to porous frameworks, monoliths, and powders designed to exhibit controlled density, surface area, and pore architecture suitable for processing under high-pressure conditions.
The critical conditions for SupercriticalC depend on composition and fabrication method, but typical systems show workable
Synthesis generally involves polymerization of organic precursors followed by carbonization and activation under pressure to achieve
Applications proposed for SupercriticalC include enhanced separations and purifications, where supercritical transport improves selectivity; catalytic and
Research on SupercriticalC is ongoing, with attention to scale-up, reproducibility, safety under high-pressure conditions, and life-cycle
