Synthesis and Modification of Carbon Inverse Opal Nanostructres Based on Anthracene and Their Electrochemical Characteristics

Abstract

Carbon structures with the inverse opal lattice modified with nickel compounds have been synthesized by the template method. The carbon precursor is anthracene, whose molecule has a planar structure consisting of three benzene rings. The resulting nanostructures are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and high-resolution transmission electron spectroscopy, and gas adsorption–desorption. Electrochemical characteristics of composites being used as the electrode material are measured.
