Carbide-derived carbons (CDCs) produced by chlorination of carbides offer great potential for precise pore size control at the atomic level, making them attractive candidates for energy storage media. CDCs activated with CO2or KOH possess distinct improvements in porosity, displaying specific surface areas above 3000m2g−1and pore volumes above 1.3cm3g−1. These correspond to gravimetric methane uptake of 16wt% at 35bar and 25°C, close to the currently best reported material PCN-14, a metal-organic framework (MOF), at 35bar and 17°C or KOH activated anthracite at 35bar and 25°C. The best excess gravimetric methane uptake is obtained with a TiC-derived CDC activated with CO2at 975°C for 2h, namely a very large surface area of 3360m2g−1resulting in 18.5wt% at 25°C and 60bar. To obtain realistic volumetric methane capacity, the packing density of completely dried CDC was measured, from which we obtain excess capacity of 145v(STP)v−1from CDC activated with CO2at 875°C for 8h, 81% of the DOE target (180v(STP)v−1) at 35bar and 25°C. From small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements, pore radii of gyration (Rg) between 0.5nm and 1nm are determined. Temperature-dependent methane isotherms show that the isosteric heat of adsorption reaches 24kJmol−1at the initial stage of low loading.
