Large pore volume mesoporous copper particles and scaffold microporous carbon material obtained from an inorganic-organic nanohybrid material, copper-succinate-layered hydroxide

► A new nanohybrid, copper-succinate-layered material was synthesized. ► Heat-treating processes of the nanohybrid produced two type materials. ► Scaffold microporous carbon material at 500 °C. ► Large pore volume mesoporous metallic copper at 600 °C.
