The potential applications of mesoporous carbon aerogels are wide-ranging. These gels are often obtained from resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) hydrogel precursors. The sol-gel method in this synthesis provides an efficient and versatile means of product control through systematic variation of process conditions, such as pH, stoichiometry, concentration, catalyst, further additives, etc., in addition to the drying and pyrolytic conditions. Here, a novel means of tuning the texture of carbon aerogels is proposed. Water-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate ([emim][EtSO4] mixtures constitutes a polycondensation medium that requires no added catalyst, thus yielding an intrinsically metal-free carbon aerogel after pyrolysis. We also show that the carbon morphology is tailored by the supramolecular structure of the aqueous ionic liquid. The results of scanning electron micrographs, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) confirm that changing the initial water concentration from 9 to 55 wt % gives rise to systematic alteration of the mesopore size and volume, as well as of the bead size. The pore structure becomes consolidated only when the water content exceeds 25 wt %. When the water content reaches 55 wt %, the bead size increases by two orders of magnitude. The electrocatalytic performance, however, is compromised, most probably by structural defects.

A series of silica gel (SG) supported metal ionic liquid catalysts (x[Bmim]Cl-CrCl3/SG) were synthesized and exploited for the esterification of palmitic acid (PA) with methanol (ML) to produce biodiesel efficiently. The 10%[Bmim]Cl-CrCl3/SG catalyst with high surface area and desirable acidity exhibited the best catalytic performance and reusability after six consecutive running cycles. Based on the response surface analysis, the optimal reaction conditions were obtained as follows: methanol/acid mole ratio = 11:1 mol/mol, catalyst amount = 5.3 wt%, reaction time = 65 min, as well as reaction temperature = 373 K, reaching to a biodiesel yield of 96.1%. Further kinetic studies demonstrated that the esterification of PA with ML obeyed 1.41 order kinetics for acid concentration with the activation energy of 16.88 kJ/mol

RF (Resorcinol-Formaldehyde) aerogels and carbon aerogels were prepared through the sol-gel method following the routes of polymerization, gelation, supercritical drying and pyrolysis processes. The influence of fabrication parameters on the textural structure of the samples, e.g., specific surface area, pore size, and pore size distribution, etc., were systematically investigated. With a decrease in the R/F molar ratio, or an increase in the catalyst content within a limited range, the porosity of the nanostructure materials increases. The optimal temperature of pyrolysis for RF aerogel was investigated by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis).
