High yield and high packing density porous carbon for unprecedented CO2 capture from the first attempt at activation of air-carbonized biomass

The first attempt at activation of air-carbonized carbon reveals unusual resistance to activation and unprecedentedly high yields (32–80 wt%) of high packing density (0.7–1.14 g cm−3) microporous carbon dominated by 5.5–7 Å pores, which are just right for CO2 uptake (up to 5.0 mmol g−1) at 1 bar and...
