Ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK3) before and after doping with nitrogen (N) are prepared successfully by a nanocasting method using sucrose as carbon source, and urea (or melamine) as nitrogen source. After doping N, the materials show an increase in the specific surface area and a slight decrease in the porosity. The N content of the N-doped CMK3 obtained from melamine precursor (CMK3-M) is at.%, approximately 4 times as high as that of the N-doped CMK3 obtained from urea precursor (CMK3-U). |
