SBIR Phase I: Development of Commercial Techniques for Large Scale Production of Tunable Nanoporous Carbons

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在通过从金属碳化物起始材料中蚀刻金属来开发可调纳米多孔碳的大规模连续制造工艺。通过该技术制备的多孔碳材料预期在亚埃控制下表现出0.5-2.2纳米的小孔径，并且在纳米控制下表现出高达30纳米的大孔径。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是开发一种可扩展的工艺，以制造具有可调孔径的多孔碳材料，该材料将在许多领域具有主要应用，包括大气气体采样，电能，气体储存，中毒处理，水过滤和脱盐。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop large-scale and continuous manufacturing process for tunable nanoporous carbon by etching metals away from the metal carbide starting materials. The porous carbon materials prepared by this technology are anticipated to exhibit small pore sizes of 0.5-2.2 nanometer with sub Angstrom control and large pore sizes up to 30 nanometer with nanometer control. The broader/commercial impact of this project will be the development of a scalable process to manufacture porous carbon materials with tunable pore sizes that will have major applications in a number of areas including atmospheric gas sampling, electrical energy, gas storage, poisoning treatment, water filtration and desalination.
