Chiral Substances: Helical Pore Alignment on Cylindrical Carbon (Small 2/2020). Issue 2 (16th January 2020) - Maruyama, Jun
Abstract : In article number 1905916, Jun Maruyama and co‐workers demonstrate a cylindrical carbon material with helically‐aligned nanopores showing chirality. Polystyrene nanoparticles self‐assemble along carbon nanofiber with fructose and tri‐block copolymer in the presence of sodium alginate during hydrothermal treatment. Heat treatment in an inert atmosphere produces fructose‐derived honeycomb‐like carbon walls leaving helically‐aligned nanopores after the polystyrene decomposition.
