Research Abstract	Ordered mesoporous carbons were synthesized by an organic-organic self-assembly method using resorcinol/formaldehyde and two kinds of triblock copolymers (Pluronic F127 and P123). The pore size and pore structure of the mesostructured polymers and carbons were affected by the composition of the triblock copolymers which act as soft templates. The mesoporous carbon activated with KOH showed superior capacitances. Ordered mesoporous carbon films prepared using 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene shows higher thermal stability than the previous carbons prepared using resorcinol. Ultrathin carbon films with a monolayer of uniform mesopores were synthesized on a silicon substrate by contacting triblock copolymer films with benzyl alcohol vapor followed by carbonization.
