| Abstract: | The present disclosure relates to a porous monolithic carbon foam and a method of preparation thereof, wherein the carbon foam comprises an effective amount of combination of ball-milled, acid-treated low-value carbon or waste petroleum coke and natural foaming agent - acacia gum. Said carbon foams have different low-to- high (200 nm to 20 µm) porosity and hence can be used to fabricate advanced fuel cell electrodes and their assembly components, metal-ion battery electrodes, electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI shielding) and similar carbon foam-based applications. Further, the invention adds value to petroleum coke utilization and prevents the environment from using hazardous chemical-based foaming agents. |
