The application provides a Yangmei-type phenolic
resin microsphere, a carbon sphere and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of carbon materials. The Yangmei-type phenolic
resin microsphere is obtained by using cheap and easily available
phenol and
formaldehyde as raw materials, through a step-by-step process of "prepolymerization to form an
oligomer under alkaline conditions" and "in-situ solidification and growth of surface nano-protrusions under acidic conditions". The phenolic
resin microsphere has a unique core-protrusion integrated three-dimensional structure, and after
carbonization, the Yangmei-type carbon sphere can be directly converted, the core-protrusion
composite structure is completely retained, and there is no collapse,
cracking or protrusion shedding phenomenon. The preparation process of the application does not need a template agent, has low equipment requirements, is simple and easy to operate and enlarge, and has low
raw material cost. The prepared Yangmei-type phenolic resin
microsphere and carbon sphere have high specific surface area and excellent
structural stability, and have wide application prospects in the fields of battery negative materials,
supercapacitor electrodes, heterogeneous catalytic carriers and the like.
