Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Two-dimensional carbon materials with mesoporosity are vital for catalysis, electrochemistry, and energy technologies.
  • Synthetic challenges limit the mesostructural configurations and mass transport in these materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a facile and reproducible strategy for fabricating highly ordered mesoporous carbon thin films with vertically aligned and permeable mesopore channels.
  • To demonstrate the tunability and versatility of the fabrication process for various applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an oriented monomicelle assembly strategy.
  • Employed the swelling and fusion effect of hydrophobic benzene homologues for directional assembly.
  • Fabricated thin films with controllable thicknesses and mesopore sizes on switchable substrates.

Main Results:

  • Achieved highly ordered mesoporous carbon films with vertically aligned and permeable mesopore channels.
  • Demonstrated precise control over film thickness (13-85 nm) and mesopore size (8.4-13.5 nm).
  • Produced centimeter-sized, cracking-free films with tunable properties.

Conclusions:

  • The oriented monomicelle assembly strategy offers a facile, reproducible, and versatile approach for creating advanced mesoporous carbon materials.
  • Mesoporous carbon films with vertically aligned channels exhibit excellent performance in electrochemical sensing, as evidenced by ultralow detection limits for dopamine.
