With the constant upgrading of traditional and strategic emerging industries, carbon and graphite materials (CGM) has become an important strategic resource and essential mineral material to support the development of high and new technology. The current situation of report for the CGM still remains at macro-mechanical properties, Seldom?is?reported?about pore structure of CGM, which may affect on mechanical properties. It is well known that properties of CGM depends on its micro-structure, and the pore structure plays an important role on micro-structure. Therefore, this paper reviews the development and application of CGM, and parameters of pore structure in CGM. Moreover, the effect of parameters characterizing of CGM’s material pore structure on comprehensive properties are described and the correlation between them also are discussed. It provides a theoretical basis for material scientific description of physical and chemical properties, material modification, performance optimization and new process design.
