Modeling and Simulation of Template-Based Synthesis of Porous Carbon Frameworks Using COMSOL Multiphysics

A template-assisted synthesis was used to synthesize porous carbon scaffolds with silica gel as a template via chemicalvapor infiltration (CVI). The process was mathematically modeled and simulated by varying different reaction parametersto optimize the carbon deposition. The experimental results could be reproduced well with the models. The additionaldescription of the laminar flow significantly improves the simulation.
