Porous carbon product, method for the production thereof, and use of the same
First Claim
1. A method for producing a porous carbon product, comprising:
- providing a porous carbon structure with a first specific surface area,infiltrating the carbon structure with a precursor substance for graphitizable carbon,carbonizing the precursor substance so as to form the porous carbon product with a second specific surface area smaller than the first specific surface area,wherein said providing the porous carbon structure comprises;
providing a template containing pores,infiltrating the pores of the template with a solution containing a precursor for non-graphitizable carbon,carbonizing the precursor so as to form the porous carbon structure having the first specific surface area, andremoving the template.

Abstract
For use as electrode material for a lithium battery, porous templates are impregnated with a carbon feedstock that can be graphitized. This frequently results in only a low thickness of the deposited, graphite-like layer, such that generally several such infiltration and carbonation processes must be carried out consecutively. In order to provide a cost-effective product which is made of porous carbon and has high porosity and a low surface, according to the invention a method comprises the following method steps: (a) preparing a porous carbon structure having a large specific surface, (b) infiltrating the carbon structure with a precursor substance for carbon that can be graphitized, (c) carbonizing the precursor substance to form the carbon product having a low specific surface, wherein preparing the carbon structure according to method step (a) comprises the following: (I) preparing a template containing pores, (II) infiltrating the pores of the template with a solution that contains a precursor of carbon that cannot be graphitized, (III) carbonizing the precursor forming the carbon structure having the first specific surface, and (IV) removing the template.
