Nanoporous Carbons for Today's Grand Challenges: Some Opportunities and Barriers by M.J. Biggs


"Other VPC models have appeared in more recent years, including a class of models that use
Reverse Monte Carlo, a so-called inverse method, to force the models to match direct measures
of the microscopic structure of the target carbon such as the carbon-carbon radial distribution
function obtained from X-ray diffraction. Despite these advances, even the most sophisticated
VPC models of today are missing many details that are often central to the performance of carbons
including adequate treatment of heteroatoms and structural order beyond 1-2 nm."
