  bibo_abstract:
  - Polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD), a thermoset with excellent mechanical properties,
    has enormous potential as a lightweight, tough, and stable matrix material owing
    to its highly cross-linked macromolecular network. This work describes generating
    pDCPD-based foams and hierarchically porous carbons derived therefrom by combining
    ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of DCPD, high internal phase emulsions
    (HIPEs) as structural templates, and subsequent carbonization. The structure and
    function of the carbon foams were characterized and discussed in detail using
    scanning electron, transmission electron, or atomic force microscopy (SEM, TEM,
    AFM), electron energy-loss spectroscopy (TEM-EELS), N2 sorption, and analyses
    of electrical conductivity as well as mechanical properties. The resulting materials
    exhibited uniform, shape-retaining shrinkage of only ∼1/3 after carbonization.
    No structural failure was observed even when the pDCPD precursor foams were heated
    to 1400 °C. Instead, the high porosity, void size, and 3D interconnectivity were
    fully preserved, and the void diameters could be adjusted between 87 and 2.5 μm.
    Moreover, foams have a carbon content >97%, an electronic conductivity of up to
    2800 S·m–1, a Young’s modulus of up to 2.1 GPa, and a specific surface area of
    up to 1200 m2·g–1. Surprisingly, the pDCPD foams were carbonized into shapes other
    than monoliths, such as 10’s of micron thick membranes or foamy coatings adhered
    to a metal foil or grid substrate. The latter coatings even adhere upon bending.
    Finally, as a use case, carbonized foams were applied as porous cathodes for Li–O2
    batteries where the foams show a favorable combination of porosity, active surface
    area, and pore size for outstanding capacity.@eng
