Abstract

Flexible control of the micropore size of carbon was achieved in a cost-efficient way by predesigned quantitative correlation between the sizes of extendable (CN₂)_x nanosized modulators and the generated micropore sizes ranged from 0.2 to 2.3 nm, with effectiveness for boosting the electrochemical performance systematically.
