6 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE 6 (a) Digital camera image of a piece of pyrolyzed foam as pressed by tweezers. Panels (b) and (c) show scanning electron micrographs of foams pyrolyzed at 800 C in N 2 and subsequently activated in 2% CO 2 in N 2. Carbon foams catalyst support The sponge's ability to trap metal ions from aqueous solutions of Ni(NO 3 ) 2 was found to be ~10 wt. % (by ICP-OES) of the adsorbent weight. Oil separation from water with carbon foams Hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic carbon foam Melamine foam as starting material Industrially benign super-compressible piezoresistive carbon foams with predefined wetting properties: from environmental to electrical applications, Pham TN, Scientific Reports. 2014;4:6933. NMBP : Architectured /Advanced material concepts for intelligent bulk material structures

7 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE 7 Electrical transport and electrochemical energy storage The temperature applied for pyrolysis plays a major role in the electrical conductivity of the samples as indicated by the ~5 orders of magnitude decrease of the measured resistance for the samples pyrolyzed at 800 C, as compared to those processed at only 600 C Multiphonon hopping (MPH) is assumed to be governing the charge transfer mechanism. In MPH, the resistivity is proportional to the power function of temperature as σ ~ (T/T 0 ) p, where p denotes the numbers of coupled phonons involved in the hopping process.
