Abstract

Nano-sized pores in carbon materials are recently known to give certain constraints to the encapsulated materials by keeping them inside, accompanied with some changes in their structure, morphology, stability, Consequently, nano-sized pores endow the constrained materials with improved performances in comparison with those prepared by conventional processes. These pores may be called "constraint spaces" in carbon materials. Here, we review the experimental results related to these constraint spaces by classifying as nanochannels in carbon nanotubes, nanopores and nanochannels in various porous carbons, and the spaces created by carbon coating.
