✦ Synopsis

Aerogel-like carbons were fabricated and were then graphitized in sodium metal at 800 °C and ambient pressure. The resultant graphitized aerogel-like carbons have a crystalline carbonous structure with three-dimensional stacked graphite ribbons about 10 nm in width and are highly porous solids with pore size distributions around 4 nm and 15 nm.
