Intervention‐Free Graphitization of Carbon Microspheres from a Non‐Graphitizing Polymer at Low Temperature: Nanopores as Dynamic Nanoreactors (Small 22/2024)

Dynamic Nanoreactors In article number 2308082, Aliyeh Afzalalghom, Ali Beitollahi, and co-workers propose an intervention-free method to graphitize the non-graphitizing polydivinyl benzene. It is shown that porous polymer microspheres with ink-bottle nanopores by confining and making the exit of decomposing polymer products (DPrs) difficult during heat treatment, provide the necessary conditions for acting as dynamic nanoreactors wherein conversion of DPrs to fused benzene rings occur and finally, the graphitic structure at low temperature is obtained.
