Original Abstract Submitted
A method for producing a nitrogen-modified mesoporous and dendritic carbon material includes preparing a carbon precursor comprising a metal acetylide. The carbon precursor is mixed with a nitrogen precursor to form a starter mixture. Thereafter, a first heat treatment of the starter mixture is carried out at a temperature in the range of 40 to 80° C. under vacuum to form a metal inclusion compound. In a next step, a second heat treatment is carried out at a temperature in the range of 120 to 220° C. to produce an intermediate by decomposing the metal inclusion compound under a vacuum. The intermediate is treated to remove the metal, and finally consolidation of the treated intermediate is carried out by a third heat treatment at a temperature in the range of 200 to 1000° C. under vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain the nitrogen-modified mesoporous and dendritic carbon material. Also described is a nitrogen-modified mesoporous and dendritic carbon material and a fuel cell comprising the carbon material.
