    This letter describes the synthesis and structural characterization of monolithic carbon aerogel (CA) materials that possess both high surface areas and hierarchical porosity. Thermal activation of a macroporous CA structure, one that was derived from an acetic acid-catalyzed sol–gel polymerization reaction, yields monolithic materials with large pore volumes and surface areas exceeding 3000 m 2/g. Given the flexibility of CA synthesis, this approach offers viability to engineer new materials for use as catalyst supports, electrodes, capacitors and sorbent systems.
