It is important to mention that the case of our samples, another factor contributing to porosity development arises which is associated with the carbon precursor composition. As mentioned above, during carbonization sodium salts react with the silica walls, creating wider porosity in the carbons. We refer to this process as a dynamic template effect. The fact that for the thiimer pore walls silica template and the same content of sodium in the matrix the remarkably similar distributions of pore sizes are obtained support the hypothesis about the existence of this effect and its role for porosity development. 

Figure 1.17 Dynamic templating model for the mechanism of silica condensation into nanofibers. The cationic lanreotide nanotube surface utilizes electrostatic attraction to catalyze silica condensation (step C) and the anionic silica deposit promotes additional lanreotide assembly (step T<, ) through neutralization of the system.

One is the porous structure of foam wall. The wall of copper electro-deposits includes a number of small pores between branches, as seen in Fig. 4(b), whereas that of tin electro-deposits shows little pores inside, as seen in Fig. 6(b). As discussed earlier, hydrogen gas plays a critical role, as a dynamic template, in forming porous structure. In the course of copper deposition, hydrogen gas...
