| Summary: | Zinc citrate was prepared and its thermal decomposition was investigated by methods of thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Products of the thermal decomposition were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The decomposition proceeds at temperatures 50 - 420 °C in three stages and leads to the formation of nanocrystalline ZnO with the average grain size of 23 nm. Subsequently, zinc citrate was used as a precursor of ZnO hard template for preparation of carbon mesoporous materials by the solid template method. The carbon materials were obtained by pyrolysis of polymer matrix of phenol-formaldehyde resin in which zinc citrate was added. It was found that the resulting material has a specific surface area of 1051 m2/g. According to the cyclic voltamperometry data, the material has a specific capacity 40 F/g. |
