KOH catalysed preparation of activated carbon aerogels for dye adsorption

Organic carbon aerogels (CAs) were prepared by a sol–gel method from polymerisation of resorcinol, furfural, and hexamethylenetetramine catalysed by KOH at around pH 9 using ambient pressure drying. The effect of KOH in the sol–gel on CA synthesis was studied. It was found that addition of KOH prior...
