Processes for making polymer gels and carbon materials therefrom. In some examples, the process can include reacting a first mixture that can include a first phenolic monomer, a first aldehyde monomer, and a first catalyst to produce a first prepolymer. The process can also include reacting a second mixture that can include a second phenolic monomer, a second aldehyde monomer, and a second catalyst to produce a second prepolymer. The first phenolic monomer and the second phenolic monomer can have different chemical structures and/or the first aldehyde monomer and the second aldehyde monomer can have different chemical structures. The first prepolymer and the second prepolymer can be combined to produce a third mixture. The first prepolymer and the second prepolymer in the third mixture can be polymerized to produce a polymer gel.
