“…Carbon materials, which have been synthesized and used for more than 3000 years, have attracted considerable interest due to their potential applications in catalysts, gas storage devices, super capacitors, and adsorbents. [1][2][3][4] And the reasons why these materials are so valued are richness in porosity, low economic cost, abundance in resource and ease of operation. 5 As one of the most promising applications of activated carbon, the adsorption of CO 2 , a greenhouse gas emitted from the massive combustion of fossil fuels, has been demonstrated by many researchers.…”
