Then, graphitization was performed at 1400 °C for 3 h under argon conditions; Finally, the oxygen flow rate was adjusted to 100 mL / min, and a directional pore-forming treatment was performed under oxygen conditions at a temperature of 400° C. for 3 hours to obtain an isotropic porous carbon material.

[0066] Comparative Example 2: Preparation of porous carbon reinforced aluminum metal composite material Liquid polyacrylonitrile oligomer is placed in a sagger and heat-treated at 220°C for 4 hours under an inert atmosphere (argon) in a sintering furnace. It is then graphitized at 1400°C for 3 hours under argon to produce a porous carbon material.

[0067] Aluminum metal particles are placed in a melting furnace and melted at 1000°C; the prepared porous carbon material is then immersed in the molten metal, the melting environment pressure is adjusted to -0.08 MPa, and the pressure is maintained for 2 minutes, and then the melting environment pressure is adjusted to 0.08 MPa, and the pressure is maintained for 2 minutes; the molten composite porous carbon is then removed from the melting furnace to obtain a porous carbon reinforced aluminum-based metal composite material.

[0068] Test Example 1: Porous carbon with different porosities The isotropic porous carbon material prepared by pre-calcining (i.e., heat-treating) the liquid polyacrylonitrile oligomer at 220°C in Example 1 exhibited an expansion rate of 200% and a porosity of 94%, indicating relatively uniform pores. In contrast, the isotropic porous carbon material prepared by pre-calcining the liquid polyacrylonitrile oligomer at 240°C in Comparative Example 1 exhibited an expansion rate of 400%, a porosity of 97%, and relatively large pores. Table 1 shows that a pre-calcining temperature that is too high (240°C) results in excessive expansion and porosity in the prepared isotropic porous carbon material, resulting in poor mechanical properties. The expansion rate in Table 1 is calculated as (porous carbon thickness / initial slurry thickness) × 100%. The porosity data in Table 1 was measured using the Archimedean principle: porosity = volume of water immersed in the porous carbon / (effective volume of the porous carbon + volume of water immersed in the porous carbon) × 100%.

[0069] Table 1 Comparison of expansion rate and porosity of isotropic porous carbon materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1

[0070] Test Example 2: Oleophilicity and Hydrophilicity of Porous Carbon Materials The isotropic porous carbon material prepared in Example 1 has excellent lipophilicity, which is beneficial to the penetration of non-metallic polymers and the preparation of porous carbon reinforced non-metallic composite materials, but has poor hydrophilicity. Water droplets cannot spontaneously penetrate the specific surface of the material and will float on the water surface. The porous carbon material prepared in Example 2 has excellent lipophilicity and hydrophilicity. Water droplets can instantly penetrate into the interior of the material and sink to the bottom of the water when placed in water.

[0071] Table 2 Hydrophilic and lipophilic properties of the materials prepared in Example 1 and the blank group

[0072] Preparation method of the blank group in Table 2: liquid polyacrylonitrile oligomer is placed in a sagger and heat-treated at 220°C for 4 hours under an inert atmosphere (argon) in a sintering furnace; then, high-temperature graphitization is performed at 1400°C for 3 hours under argon to obtain a porous carbon material.

[0073] Test Example 3: Controlling the Effect of Quantitative Pore Formation on Materials The isotropic porous carbon material prepared in Example 1 has excellent oleophilicity and hydrophilicity, and the specific surface area is 15.00 m 2 / g, which is conducive to the penetration and adsorption of non-metallic polymers and molten metals, and its strength is not much different from that of the blank group without quantitative pore creation; when quantitative pore creation is performed at 400℃, the total pore volume is 0.0018cm3 of the blank group (graphitized product). 3 / g increased to 0.0050cm 3 / g, which is 2.77 times that of the porous carbon prepared in the blank group. This significantly increases the number of micropores, giving the material a larger specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity for molten metal. The degree of oxidation in Table 3 = (weight before quantitative pore creation / weight after quantitative pore creation) × 100%.

[0074] Table 3 Performance comparison of materials prepared in Example 1 and the blank group

[0075] Preparation method of the blank group in Table 3: liquid polyacrylonitrile oligomer was placed in a sagger and heat-treated at 220°C for 4 hours under an inert atmosphere (argon) in a sintering furnace; then, high-temperature graphitization was performed at 1400°C for 3 hours under argon to obtain a porous carbon material.

[0076] Test Example 4: The impact of quantitative pore formation on composite aluminum materials Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 are compared. In Example 2, the isotropic porous carbon material prepared by quantitative pore-forming technology is used to composite aluminum metal to prepare a porous carbon reinforced aluminum metal composite material. From the cross-sectional view of the sample ( Figure 2 ) shows that the aluminum in the composite material uniformly penetrates the porous carbon. Comparative Example 2, in which a composite material was prepared using unporated porous carbon, shows aluminum on the surface while the interior remains porous carbon. This comparison confirms that the isotropic porous carbon material prepared using quantitative pore-forming technology exhibits high wettability with aluminum. The polar groups within the carbon material are compatible with aluminum, and the increased number of micropores after pore-forming enhances the material's strong adsorption properties, allowing it to actively absorb molten aluminum. The resulting porous carbon-reinforced aluminum composite exhibits high uniformity.

[0077] The tensile properties of the porous carbon reinforced aluminum-based metal composite material (400℃C@Al) of Example 2 are excellent, reaching 1010MPa, the tensile modulus is 112GPa, and the thermal conductivity is 410W / (m·k), the thermal conductivity is 60MS / m, and the wear rate (dry grinding) is 9.0×10 -5 mm 3 / (Nm).

[0078] The aluminum-based metal reinforced with an isotropic porous carbon material with uniform pore structure distribution prepared by pore formation at 400°C has high uniformity and significantly improves its strength, wear resistance, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity.

[0081] Test Example 5: Porous carbon reinforced epoxy resin composite material The porous carbon reinforced resin composite material prepared in Example 3 has a tensile strength of 130 MPa and an elastic modulus of 5.5 GPa, which are significantly improved.

[0083] Test Example 6: Porous Carbon Vapor Deposition Silicon Composite Material Figure 4 This is a charge-discharge curve for a coin cell battery using a 94% porosity, isotropic porous carbon vapor-deposited silicon composite material, prepared in Example 4 of the present invention, as the negative electrode. The porous carbon vapor-deposited silicon composite material prepared in Example 4, as the silicon negative electrode material, achieved a specific capacity of 389.09 mAh / g, 136.68 mAh / g higher than that of porous carbon oxidized at 400°C. This significant improvement also significantly increased the initial efficiency to 80.50% after high-temperature sintering.

[0086] From the above examples, it can be seen that the porous carbon reinforced non-metallic composite material and porous carbon reinforced metal composite material provided by the present invention, by using an isotropic porous carbon material with a uniform pore structure distribution as a carbon skeleton, realizes the composite of the isotropic porous carbon material with a uniform pore structure distribution and a metal material or a non-metallic polymer, which significantly improves the uniformity of the composite material. The obtained porous carbon reinforced non-metallic composite material and porous carbon reinforced metal composite material have lightweight, high strength, excellent wear resistance and electrical and thermal conductivity; they can be used in the preparation of lightweight and high-strength structural parts in the fields of aerospace, automotive industry, etc. The silicon negative electrode material prepared by porous carbon vapor deposition has better performance in button batteries and can be used as a negative electrode material in the field of lithium batteries.
