| Research Abstract |
Simply by mechanical force, it is possible to successively and reversibly control the micropore size of zeolite templated carbon, which is an extraordinary flexible microporous material with a uniform micropore size of 1. 2 nm. In addition, we have demonstrated that the change of the micropore size induces remarkable effects for gas adsorption capabilities by actual experiments. Such a principal as reversible and angstrom-order size control of carbon micropores by mechanical compression can be applied to the preparation of a new type of sensors and molecular sieves.
