Porous carbon materials are ubiquitous with a wide range of technologically important applications, including separation science, heterogeneous catalyst supports, water purification filters, stationary phase materials, as well as the developing future areas of energy generation and storage applications. Hard template routes to ordered mesoporous carbons are well established, but whilst offering different mesoscopic textural phases, the surface of the material is difficult to chemically post-modify and processing is energy, resource and step intensive. The production of carbon materials from biomass (i.e. sugars or polysaccharides) is a relatively new but rapidly expanding research area. In this tutorial review, we compare and contrast recently reported routes to the preparation of porous carbon materials derived from renewable resources, with examples of our previously reported mesoporous polysaccharide-derived "Starbon" carbonaceous material technology.
多孔碳材料无处不在，具有广泛的技术重要应用，包括分离科学、多相催化剂载体、水净化过滤器、固定相材料，以及能源发电和存储应用等新兴领域。有序介孔碳的硬模板路线已经成熟，但尽管提供了不同的介观结构相，材料的表面难以进行化学后修饰，且加工过程需要大量的能源、资源和步骤。从生物质（即糖或多糖）生产碳材料是一个相对较新但迅速发展的研究领域。在本综述中，我们比较和对比了最近报道的从可再生资源制备多孔碳材料的方法，并举例说明了我们之前报道的介孔多糖衍生的“Starbon”碳质材料技术。
