Where this comes from

Abstract

Porous carbons with extremely high surface areas are produced through the carbonization of hypercrosslinked benzene, pyrrole, and thiophene. Such carbons show largely microporous and mesoporous domains and exhibit Brunaeur-Emmett-Teller surface areas up to 4300 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>-1</sup> . The best performing material also displays exceptionally high CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub> uptakes.
