Abstract
Carbon-based cryosorbers are generally synthesized in the form of powders, which compromises the volumetric capacity in gas storage applications. Here we report the synthesis of monolithic carbide-derived carbon (CDC) by chlorination of fully-dense ceramic titanium carbide plates. Volume change is minimal, consistent with conformal transformation from TiC to CDC, and the weight loss is consistent with nearly 100% conversion. The resulting materials have a microporous carbon structure with little or no macroporosity and exhibit enhanced volumetric gas storage capacity compared to powder equivalents. Optimized volume uptakes are 35
