Air Oxidation of Carbon Spheres. II. Micropore Development by Michio Inagaki, Tetsuo Nishikawa, Kyoiti Oshida, Katsuya Fukuyama, Yoshikiyo Hatakeyama, Keiko Nishikawa

“…The formation of micropores at the start of the oxidation of carbon spheres was studied by N 2 gas adsorption, small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy with the aid of image processing. On the basis of a detailed analysis of the measurement results, it was suggested that the principal process in the formation of micropores was the opening of closed pores initially present in the carbon matrix of the spheres. …”
