13 Claims

1. A process for preparing a porous carbon material comprising the process steps:

a. providing a carbon source comprising a first carbon source compound;

b. providing an amphiphilic species comprising a first amphiphilic compound, the first amphiphilic compound comprising two or more adjacent ethylene oxide based repeating units;

c. contacting the carbon source and the amphiphilic species to obtain a precursor; and

d. heating the precursor to obtain the porous carbon material wherein the precursor does not comprise more than 1 part by weight, based on 100 parts of carbon source, of a cross-linking agent.
