“…Due to these exciting properties, carbon foams are considered for applications like thermal protection, heat exchangers, heat sink, EMI shielding, catalyst support, electrodes in batteries and fuel cells, host structure for phase change materials, etc. [3][4][5][6][7]. Fossil fuel-based precursors like coal-tar pitch [8], petroleum pitch [8,9], mesophase pitch [1,10,11], phenolformaldehyde resin, furfural resin, polyimide [12], cyanate ester resin [13], and polyarylacetylene [14] are conventionally used for the preparation of carbon foams.…”
