Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were synthesized in this study through a soft template method and then activated by employing different mass ratios of KOH/OMCs to obtain KOH-activated ordered mesoporous carbons (KOMCs) with hierarchical pore structures. To verify the adsorption capacity, the KOMCs have been subjected to toluene emission-reduction experiments. The KOMCs were characterized by TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and Raman spectroscopy. The pore structure of OMCs was found to be effectively optimized by the activation with KOH, with the BET-area and total pore volume values reaching as high as 2661 m2 g−1 and 2.14 cm3 g−1 respectively. Then, the dynamic adsorption capacity of toluene on KOMCs was investigated via breakthrough curves, which can be well described by the Yoon and Nelson (Y-N) model. The dynamic adsorption capacities of toluene exhibit the following order: OMC < KOMC-1 < KOMC-5 < KOMC-3. The sample activated by KOH/OMC with a mass ratio of 3:1 (KOMC-3) demonstrated the highest toluene adsorption capacity of 355.67 mg g−1, three times higher in comparison with the untreated carbon (104.61 mg g−1). The modified hierarchical porous carbons also exhibited good recyclability. The KOMCs with rich pore structure, high toluene adsorption capacity, and superior reusability thus display a huge potential for volatile organic compound (VOC) elimination.

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were successfully synthesized by using hard template and soft template methods. These materials were characterized by XRD, TEM, and N2adsorption-desorption Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). From the obtained results, it is revealed that the obtained OMCs samples showed high surface area (>1000 m2/g) with high pore volume, mainly mesopore volume (1.2–2.4 cm3/g). Moreover, OMCs samples had similar structure of the SBA-15 silica and exhibited high MB adsorption capacity withqmof 398 mg·g−1for OMCs synthesis with hard template and 476 mg·g−1for OMCs synthesis with soft template, respectively. From kinetics investigation, it is confirmed that MB adsorption from aqueous solution obeys the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation.

Nitrogen hybrid ordered mesoporous carbons (N-OMC) were prepared by the soft-template method with melamine-phenol-formaldehyde resoles (MPF) as the precursors and triblock copolymer F127 as a soft-template. FT-IR spectra analysis demonstrated that nitrogen was incorporated into the mesoporous carbons with C-N covalent bonds. The effect of molar ratio of phenol to melamine on the pore structure and textural properties was discussed by small angle X-ray scattering, nitrogen adsorption measurements, and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the degree of pore order decreases with the increasing of nitrogen content. The N-OMC with 3.39 wt% nitrogen has the highest specific surface areas (573m2/g) and best ordered mesostructure.

Nitrogen doped ordered mesoporous carbons with a 3-D body-centered cubic pore structure have been synthesized by means of a low-temperature autoclaving route under basic conditions, showing excellent performances for supercapacitors and CO2 capture.
