Generating carbon schwarzites via zeolite-templating

摘要: Zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs) comprise a relatively recent material class synthesized via the chemical vapor deposition of carbon-containing precursor on zeolite template, followed by removal template. We have developed theoretical framework to generate ZTC model from any given structure, which we show can successfully predict structure known ZTCs. use our method library ZTCs all zeolites, establish criteria for zeolites produce experimentally accessible ZTCs, and identify over 10 that never before been synthesized. partition space into two disjoint labyrinths be described pair interpenetrating nets. Since such nets also describes triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS), results relationship between schwarzites—carbon materials with negative Gaussian curvature resemble TPMSs—linking research topics demonstrating schwarzites should no longer thought as purely hypothetical materials.
