Porous carbon refers to a form of carbon that has a significant amount of pore space, which gives it a high surface area and makes it suitable for various applications. The porosity can vary widely, and porous carbon materials can be classified into three categories based on their pore size: 1. **Microporous carbon**: Contains pores smaller than 2 nanometers. These materials are often used for applications such as gas adsorption and separation, where high surface area and high adsorption capacity are beneficial.
