Which Mesoporous Carbon Is Best for Your Fuel Cell Catalysts?
Structure Defines Function
We design nanoporous carbon with intention
Produced using hard-template methods, Momentum Materials’ nanoporous carbon can be engineered with a wide range of 3D interconnected pore structures while maintaining batch-to-batch consistency.
Whether you’re designing for fuel cells, batteries, electrolysis, adsorption, or other applications, your performance starts with structure, and lifetime depends on how that structure endures.

MCP Series
Mesoporous carbon for silicon-carbon anodes, supercapacitors, and other next-generation battery applications.
Mesophase Pitch
A high-performance precursor material for producing porous carbon, carbon fibers, carbon-carbon composites, and related materials.
Stop Losing Months on Carbon Materials That Don’t Scale
You can get great initial performance from many carbons.
The hard part is finding one that still works after scale-up, durability testing, and real operating conditions — without blowing up cost.
Momentum
Materials designs nanoporous and mesoporous carbon materials built for
predictable performance, durability, and scale.
Materials Designed Around Your Application
Your performance depends on how mass, molecules, and charge move through your material.
If pore structure, surface accessibility, or stability are off, your system pays the price—through lower efficiency, faster degradation, or limited lifetime.
Whether you’re designing for fuel cells, batteries, electrolysis, adsorption, or other applications, your performance starts with structure, and lifetime depends on how that structure endures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of carbon materials do you offer?
What is the price of NCP and MCP?
Pricing depends on purity requirements, whether high-temperature or post-treatment is needed, and the quantity and supply terms. We’ve published an article explaining what drives the cost of NCP and MCP 👉Mesoporous carbon cost explained. For small quantities, pricing is available in our sample shop. For larger volumes, contact us to discuss your required quantity and supply timeframe for more accurate pricing.
What is the difference between NCP and MCP?
They are produced from different carbon precursors. NCP is made from naphthalene-based mesophase pitch, while MCP is produced from lower-cost pitch materials. As a result, NCP is purer. By comparison, MCP contains sulfur (typically <0.1%) and trace-level magnetic impurities.
