Popis: A novel method for synthesis of carbon cryogel/zeolite composites was obtained. Method considers forming of carbon cryogel from the sol-gel polycondenzation of resorcinol and formaldehyde, followed by freeze drying, and subsequent pyrolysis in presence of different amount of zeolite. Characterization of composite materials by nitrogen adsorption shows that samples are micro- and mesoporous and that specific surface area decrease with increasing the amount of zeolite in samples. XRD method confirms amorphous structure of carbon cryogel and crystalline structure of zeolite, i.e. structure of zeolite has not been destroyed by carbonization process. SEM and EDX analyses reveal homogenous distribution of zeolite through out carbon cryogel and corresponding composition.
