A novel approach towards the formation of mesoporous template coated biomorphic carbon materials (BCM) was attempted by the application of two processing technique. BCM with honeycomb structure having the pore size of 15-25 μm was developed by the carbonization method of natural wood, cypress. The three different templates were simultaneously synthesized and coated within BCM by an in situ hydrothermal process. All templates showed the single-phase nanocrystal which having the pore size of 3.45 nm for Linde type A zeolite, 11.09 nm for silicalite-1, and 10.95 nm for mesoporous silica, respectively. Their specific surface areas up to 65.97, 99.63, and 1.49 m2/g, respectively.
