Nanoporous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) was synthesised from vanadium carbide (VC) powder via gas phase chlorination in the temperature range from 500 to 1100°C. The XRD analysis of nanoporous carbon powder samples was carried out to investigate the structural changes (graphitisation) of nanoporous carbons synthesised. The first-order Raman spectra showed the absorption peak at ∼1582cm −1 and the disorder-induced (D) peak at ∼1345cm −1 . The low-temperature N 2 adsorption experiments were performed and a specific surface area up to 1305m 2 g −1 and total pore volume up to 0.66cm 3 g −1 were obtained.
