Electrochemical hydrogen storage in a nitrogen-doped uniformed microporous carbon

A nitrogen-doped carbon material with uniformed micro-porosity structure was synthesized by carbonized a copolymer made with a molecular-scale template, octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane，and phenolic resol and the silica domain removing. High nitrogen content as well as unimodal micropore with narrow size distribution were achieved. This nitrogen doped well-defined microporous carbon exhibited high electrochemical hydrogen storage and superior stability over those in regular active carbon material.
