Abstract

A series of porous carbons (PCs) with adjustable high surface areas and narrow micropore size distributions have been prepared by KOH activation of fungi-based carbon sources. The resulting PCs demonstrate both high CO₂ uptake (5.5 mmol g⁻¹) and high CO₂/N₂ selectivity (27.3) at 273 K and 1 bar, implying their great potential as CO₂ capture sorbents.
