• [23]. Due to the large versatility of carbon structures, many research groups have focused on a variety of alternative carbon materials [24] as supports for fuel cell applications such as single walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs) [25][26], graphene [27], carbon nanofibers [28

• -emission performance. However, it was demonstrated that a fluorine-based functionalization of carbon nanomaterials such as diamond films [83] or amorphous carbon nanoparticle films [84] increases the yield of the phenomenon. The fluorination of carbon nanofibers [85] and SWCNTs [86] was also underlined

• carbons (CMKs) [102][103], carbon nanotubes [104], and carbon nanofibers [105]. The choice of template is crucial for the final material, since the mesoporous zeolites essentially become replicas of the carbon pore system in which they grow. For example, with carbon black, the resulting pores will be
