Abstract
Mesoporous carbons are used widely in adsorption, energy storage, super capacitors and catalyst supports on account of their high surface area and pore volume, inert nature and easy regeneration properties. An innovative approach was applied in the synthesis of mesoporous carbon using thermally modified pyrolysis fuel oil-based pitch and nano silica ball as carbon precursors and pore generators, respectively. The newly synthesized copper, nickel, potassium and manganese incorporated mesoporous carbon materials were characterized using physico-chemical characterization methods.
