Abstrakt: Nanoporous graphene (NPG) materials have the pronounced electrochemical stability of the seamless graphene structures developed over the 3D space. We revisited the Raman spectra of nanoporous carbons (NPCs) synthesized using -/γ-Al2O3 templates and NPGs converted from NPCs by annealing at 1800 °C to identify the type and density of defects. We found that both the NPCs and NPGs mostly consist of single-layered graphene with a few single vacancies and Stone–Wales defects. The density of vacancy defect per hexagon in the graphene sheet is estimated to be 10−2 for NPCs, while the annealing reduced the value to 10−3–10−4 for NPGs. This supports the outstanding chemical and electrochemical stability of the novel porous carbon materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
