✦ Synopsis

As described in the Hucke patent, glassy carbons containing not only open pores of molecular size but also pores in the transitional or macropore range can be produced from appropriate formulations. The formulation always consists of a carbon-yielding monomer, an organic to yield larger pores upon its removal once the monomer has been partially polymerized, and a polymerization catalyst. It may contain a dispersing agent, depending upon the size of the larger pores which is desired. In this study, furfuryl alcohol was the monomer. Great flexibility is shown to exist in the total surface areas of the carbons which can be produced, degree of carbon molecular sieving in the super micropores, and pore volume and pore size in the larger pores following polymerization and carbonization steps. Different ways of adding iron into the mix are explored which also can have pronounced effects on the nature of the porosity in the final carbons. Further modification is shown upon addition of potassium or boron into the mix. Carbons produced are expected to have potential as catalyst supports.

The effect of thermal treatment of a typical active carbon at 1300°C and 1900°C on its structural properties was investigated. It has been found that only a high-temperature heating (1900°C) produced substantial changes in the structure of the carbon used: a disappearance of a considerable part of o

## Abstract Long‐term deterioration in the performance of PEFCs is attributed largely to reduction in active area of the platinum catalyst at cathode, usually caused by carbon‐support corrosion. It is found that the use of graphitic carbon as cathode‐catalyst support enhances its long‐term stabilit

## Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were shortened from 5 to 15 μm to ca. 200 nm using ball milling with ethanol as the milling aid agent, and a platinum catalyst with these shortened carbon nanotubes (SCNTs) as the support was prepared by a high‐pressure colloidal method. It was found that this ca
