In this study, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was prepared via nano-casting method by using Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA)-15 as a template and sucrose as a carbon precursor. The OMC was subsequently oxidized with aqueous nitric acid and referred as MOMC. The physicochemical properties of OMC and MOMC were determined using nitrogen adsorption–desorption analyser, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results proved that the carbon replication process was successful. The electrochemical performance tests were carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) in 1 M KOH electrolyte for 1000 cycles. After oxidative treatment, the specific surface area and pore volume of OMC decreased but the specific capacitance of the electrode material has significantly increased from 117      F g–1 to 344 F g–1 at a scan rate of 10 mV s–1.

Cu-modified graphitic ordered mesoporous carbon supported TiO2 catalyst was synthesized based on a hard template method. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analysis techinques were used to characterize the sample. It was observed that copper and anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were well dispersed in the Cu-modified mesoporous graphitic carbon, and the resulting composite with ordered mesostructure and high specific surface area exhibited an exceptionally high activity in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with H2O under simulated solar irradiation.

High ordered mesoporous carbon molecular sieves designated as CMK-3 and CMK-5 was synthesized using mesoporous silica SBA-15 as hard template, pre-polymerized furfuryl alcohol as a carbon souse by one-step impregnation. The effect of the furfuryl alcohol to silicas ratio have been investigated. XRD pattern, N2 sorption, FE-SEM, TEM, TG-DSC was used to characterize the property of the product. These results show that the CMK-3 and CMK-5 type mesoporous carbon can be controlled and facilely obtained.

Different kinds of mesoporous carbon materials can be obtained through the use of different templates or control condition. The study describes the adsorption behavior of dyes such as rhodamine B, methylthionine chloride and reactive red from aqueous solution using ordered mesoporous carbon in different pore size distribution. In this study, the method of controlling the aperture of ordered mesoporous carbon is changing the mass ratio of the revised template and carbon source. Ordered mesoporous carbon was synthesized with the evaporation induced self-assembly method in different proportion of template agent (F127) and phenolic resin and employed to evaluate the effects of initial concentration, contact time, pH and temperature on the removal of dye solution in batch experiments. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption. These analyses reveal that the mesoporous carbon have ordered structure. The experimental results indicated the ordered mesoporous carbon in different pore size distribution showed significant differences in the adsorption of different dyes and it was provided with an excellent selective adsorption.
