Nitrogen-doped arch and hollow shaped nanocarbons for CO2 adsorption

Abstract

We report arch and hollow nanocarbons with high nitrogen content and appreciable surface area that are highly capable of adsorbing CO<inf>2</inf> (4.23 mmol g-1), are selective (CO<inf>2</inf>/N<inf>2</inf>: ∼13%) and have high facile regeneration properties (98%) under ambient conditions, respectively. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.
