The optimized material exhibits a high surface area of 2278m2 g−1 and a pore volume of 1.00 cm3 g−1. As high microporosity is beneficial for CO2 adsorption, the prepared materials are employed as adsorbents for the capture of CO2. The optimized sample displays excellent CO2 uptakes at 0 °C/0.15 bar (1.1–1.8 mmol g−1) and 0 °C/1 bar (4.3–6.1 mmol g−1). The high surface area of the materials allows for high CO2 uptakes at 0 °C/30 bar (17.3–22.0 mmol g−1). The microporosity of these high surface area carbons is further decorated with strontium carbonate nanoparticles. The adsorption capacity per unit surface area is increased significantly upon the incorporation of the nanoparticles, revealing the role of the nanoparticles on the enhancement of the CO2 adsorption capacity. A similar strategy could be extended for the fabrication of a series of microporous carbons derived from biomass for many applications including CO2 capture.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 19:13:04 AEDT ]]> Mixed copper/copper-oxide anchored mesoporous fullerene nanohybrids as superior electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46128 Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:22:03 AEDT ]]>
