Dual template method

The use of dual templating strategies to synthesise three-dimensional macroporous carbon materials has been explored by the groups of Zhao and of Stein. In this case, the two templates play different roles

The concept of the dual templating method was further extended by Zhou et al. [131], who introduced amphiphilic ionic liquids (AILs) as structuredirecting agents. The use of l-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride as AIL provides the following advantages. It structures the silica walls around the macropores of the inverse opal in a highly ordered, microporous lamellar fashion. The interlayer periodicity of the lamellae is about 2.7 nm, with ca. 

Recently, a dual template method using both polystyrene spheres and silica particles as templates was reported to result in the preparation of ordered, uniform, macroporous carbons with mesoporous walls [254], Figure 2.41a shows the...

Other attempts follow the dual micellular templating approach involving a combination of block copolymers, surfactants, and alcohols [208]. The colloidal templating method produces three-dimensionally ordered macrostructures (3DOM-structures) [208]. However, even for the colloidal templating, the routes include besides the formation of the three-dimensionally arranged colloidal crystal always a second...
