Abstract
Carbon aerogel was obtained by pyrolysis of organic aerogel by ambient pressure drying technique. The effect of pyrolysis conditions on characteristics of carbon aerogel such as density, specific surface area and conductivity was studied. The properties and structure of carbon aerogel samples were investigated by nitrogen adsorption, four-point probe method and XRD diffraction. The results showed that carbon aerogel had structure between amorphous and graphite state. The highest specific surface area was 800 m2/g at pyrolysis temperature of 700oC. The pore-size was distributed in microporous, with the maximum total pore volume of 0.44 cm3/g. The electrical conductivity of carbon aerogel was highest at pyrolysis temperature of 800-900oC with the value in the range of 1.744-1.923 S/cm.
