Carbon materials (CMs) have great potential in industry due to their high electric conductivity, good chemical stability, and unique microstructure. Traditionally, CMs were prepared by the carbonization of low-vapor-pressure natural products or synthetic polymers. But they suffer from some distinct disadvantages, such as difficulty in tailoring the microstructures and chemical compositions of the obtained products, or complicated and slow polymerization processes. Until now, it has been a significant challenge to develop a low-cost, highly controllable method for preparing CM with desired constituents and structures at a large scale.
