Abstract

The reproducible synthesis is reported for oxygen containing porous carbons (OPC) by the KOH activation at 500–800 °C of two oxygen containing precursor polymers: polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFFA) and polyanisyl alcohol (PAA) yielding FFA-OPC and AA-OPC, respectively. Both OPCs exhibits good thermal stabi...
