| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, an attempt is made to synthesize a carbon material with a large surface area but without edge sites. For this purpose, we try to homogeneously cover the inner surface of ordered zeolite nanochannels with single and continuous graphene and remove the zeolite template to liberate the resulting carbon. In order to obtain such an edge-free carbon framework, at least 0.7 g of carbon must be introduced into the zeolite nanochannels in the case of zeolite Y. Then, we prepare nanocrystals (about 50 nm in size) of zeolite Y and use them as a template. Carbon deposition over the zeolite nanoparticles is carried out by means of acetylene CVD. As a result, we have actually achieved our first goal; more than 0.7 g of carbon is introduced into 1 g of Y zeolite. However, it is found that carbon deposition occurs not only in the zeolite nanochannels but also on the external surface of the zeolite nanoparticles and a considerable amount of carbon remains as the latter part.
