Utilization of the unique properties of graphene for application in a catalytic process relies on the development of a three-dimensional (3D) graphene-like catalytic material with connectivity of the pore network, providing good accessibility to the active centres. Zeolites as crystalline alumosilicates with well-defined and regular 3D channels can be replicated into the carbon materials with well-defined dimensions and spatial connectivity of the micropores.

We demonstrated that organization of the two-dimensional system of the carbon layer into 3D graphene-like zeolite templated materials with connectivity of a pore network providing good accessibility to the active centres allows the preparation of catalytic materials providing exceptional properties.
