Abstract

A novel carbon with vesicular, hierarchical structure was synthesized via a direct, micelle templating strategy. This vesicular carbon exhibits a wormlike morphology, very thin shells (5-30 nm) and mesopores of 2-4 nm within the shell that are perpendicular to the walls of the carbon vesicles. The structure of this novel vesicular carbon was verified by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy.
