Abstract
Elemental sulfur is an underutilised industrial by-product. It has been recently shown that it can be simply and scalably co-polymerised, by “inverse vulcanisation” with organic crosslinkers. The properties of porous carbons, which have extensive uses in science and industry, are influenced by the materials from which they are generated. Reported here are the first examples of porous carbons produced from high-sulfur inverse vulcanised polymers. The materials produced show micro-porosity, gas selectivity, and are doped with sulfur. The simplicity of the technique, and wide range of other potential inverse vulcanised feedstocks, gives scope for transferability and control of properties.
