Chemistry & Physics of Carbon: Volume 30

Written by distinguished researchers in carbon, the long-running series Chemistry and Physics of Carbon provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular structure of carbons and demonstrates how modern computational and modeling methods may contribute to the prediction of carbon material adsorption, separation, and diffusion. Volume 30 explores the topic from a practical standpoint, with chapters on template approaches to synthesizing porous carbons, carbon materials as catalysts, and sorption of heavy oils into carbon materials. This installment also discusses carbon activation by alkaline hydroxides and includes an updated perspective on the characterization of carbon surface chemistry.
