In this work, adsorption of rhodamine B (RB) and acid yellow 17 (AY17) was investigated on ordered mesoporous carbon material obtained by soft-templating method with hydrochloric acid (ST-A). For comparison, the adsorption process on commercial activated carbon CWZ-22 was also carried out. The sorbents were characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms and scanning electron microscopy. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to simulate the equilibrium data of RB and AY17. Adsorption isotherm data could be better described by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The adsorption kinetics of RB and AY17 on studied carbons could be well depicted by using pseudo-second-order kinetic modeling. The adsorption capacity increased with temperature increase in the range of 298–315 K. In the whole diffusion process, the intraparticle diffusion was involved, but not the whole rate-controlling step. The calculated thermodynamic parameters, including Gibbs free energy (∆G), enthalpy (∆H), and entropy (ΔS) suggested that adsorption processes of RB and AY17 on ST-A and CWZ-22 were endothermic and spontaneous.

N-Doped ordered mesoporous carbon (N-OMC) was successfully prepared using dicyandiamide (C2H4N4) as the nitrogen source and was grafted onto activated carbon fibres (ACFs) to form carbon composites (ACF@N-OMC).

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.

Ordered mesoporous carbon nanospheres with uniformly penetrating channels have been successfully synthesized by a nanocasting method using mesoporous silica as a template. The ordered mesoporous carbon nanospheres were investigated as electrode materials for supercapacitors via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms and a variety of electrochemical testing techniques. The electrodes with ordered mesoporous carbon nanospheres prepared by coating method exhibited good rate capability and reversibility at high scan rates in electrochemical performances. Ordered mesoporous carbon nanosphere electrode with specific surface area of 904 m2/g maintained a stable specific capacitance of 210 F g-1under specific current of 0.1 A g-1for 500 cycles of charge/discharge.

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.

Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) has been prepared by impregnating the pores of the silica template (SBA-15) with liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or sucrose. The desired support (OMC) was obtained after dissolution with NaOH. Platinum nanoparticles were dispersed on ordered mesoporous carbons using Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) method and Pt(acac)2 as metal source. The resulting ordered mesoporous carbon possess a large surface area with high microporosity, and a controlled pore size distribution, High-quality carbon replicas of SBA-15 show an X-ray diffraction peak at low angle, which indicates that the structural periodicity of the (111) planes has been maintained. Their pore volume and specific surface area are high and the pore volume is almost entirely microporous. The synthesized Pt/OMC was characterized by powder X-Ray diffraction, HR-TEM, HR-SEM, EDS, thermogravimetric analysis, and nitrogen adsorption. The performance of Pt catalyst supported OMC was evaluated by electrochemical studies, which shows almost similar activity to the commercial catalyst.
