A new member of the zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) family with unprecedented properties has been developed using extralarge-pore zeolite ZEO-1 (JZO) as a template. The resulting ZTC-JZO exhibits strong X-ray diffraction long-range order, replicating three distinct zeolite planes with different lattice spacings. By harnessing the enhanced micropore void volume in the ZEO-1 template, we achieved the first ZTC with a bimodal micropore size distribution, resulting in superior skeleton density and thickness. The ZTC-JZO presents high electrical conductivity and demonstrates improved electrocatalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction.

All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs) using sulfide electrolytes and high-capacity alloy-type anodes have attracted sizable interest due to their potential excellent safety and high energy density. Encapsulating insulating red phosphorus (P) inside nanopores of a carbon matrix can adequately activate its electrochemical alloying reaction with lithium. Therefore, the porosity of the carbon matrix plays a crucial role in the electrochemical performance of the resulting red P/carbon composites.

Here, we report the systematical synthesis of zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) supported Ru and Rh mono- or bi-metallic electrocatalysts towards hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The zeolite A or ZSM-5 derived ZTC supports and metal sites were adjusted, and all electrocatalysts outperformed the commercial Pt/C electrocatalyst for HER performance. In particular, the RhRu/(ZTC/ZSM5) sample exhibited superior catalytic performance with the overpotential of 24.

Zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs) are a family of ordered microporous carbons with extralarge surface areas and micropore volumes, which are synthesized by carbon deposition within the confined spaces of zeolite micropores. There has been great controversy regarding the atomic structures of ZTCs, which encompass two extremes: (1) three-dimensionally connected curved open-blade-type carbon moieties and (2) ideal tubular structures (commonly referred to as "Schwarzites"). In this study, through a combination of experimental analyses and theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that the atomic structure of ZTCs is difficult to define as a single entity, and it widely varies depending on their synthesis conditions.

The commercialization of ultrahigh capacity lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries is highly dependent on the cathode architecture, and a better understanding of its role in species transport and solid discharge product (i.e., LiO) formation is critical to improving the discharge capacity.
