The paper presents a study of the possibilities and mechanisms of pore formation (based on vacancy defects) in single-layer and two-layer pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile. The geometrical and electronic-energy characteristics are described, the effect of the number of PPAN layers on the processes under consideration is studied. Theoretical calculations were performed using the molecular cluster model and the quantum chemical method MNDO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
