Ultra-microporous cotton fiber-derived activated carbon by a facile one-step chemical activation strategy for efficient CO2 adsorption

Construction of phase-separated Co/MnO synergistic catalysts and integration onto sponge for rapid removal of multiple contaminants

“…The specific surface area of a material is a crucial factor in determining its catalytic activity. 28 The specific surface area of the series of catalysts was measured using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and the pore size distribution was statistically characterized using Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH). As illustrated in Fig.…”

One-pot synthesis of biomass-derived porous carbons for multipurpose energy applications

“…70,71 KOH or K 2 CO 3 has been widely used to produce highly microporous carbons showing high CO 2 uptakes. 66,73–76,81–86 Recently, Serafin et al 85 reported a one-pot carbonization and physicochemical activation (CO 2 and KOH) of fern leaves to porous carbon for CO 2 capture (Fig. 6a).…”

“…A high CO 2 uptake could be achieved at 6.77 mmol g −1 and 3.58 mmol g −1 at 0 °C and 25 °C, respectively. Xing et al 86 reported the one-pot KOH activation of cotton fiber to microporous carbon for CO 2 capture (Fig. 6b).…”
