Microporous carbons prepared from commercial activated carbon WG12 by KOH and/or ZnCl2 treatment were examined as adsorbents for CO2 capture. The micropore volume and specific surface area of the resulting carbons varied from 0.52 cm3/g (1374 m2/g) to 0.70 cm3/g (1800 m2/g), respectively. The obtained microporous carbon materials showed high CO2 adsorption capacities at 40 bar pressure reaching 16.4 mmol/g.

Mobility Of Charge Carriers

Graphene is a fascinating new member of carbon materials with honeycomb and one-atom-thick structure, consisting of 2D hexagonal lattices of sp2 carbon atoms covalently bonded. Graphene has a huge theory specific surface area (over 2600 m2 g1), good thermal conductivity, high values of Youngs modulus and fracture strength, high thermal stability and chemical stability and fast mobility of charge carriers, etc.. In recent years, many researchers found graphene have outstanding adsorption capacity of dyes in aqueous solution due to its high specific surface area. This paper summarized the graphene, graphene oxide and functionalized graphene removing various dyes in wastewater.

Carbon Foams

Monolithic open macroporous carbons of 80-85 % porosity are obtained from pyrolyzing oxidized high internal phase templated poly(dicyclopentadiene) foams. The macropores void diameters of the resulting carbon foams can be ajusted between 87 and 2.5 mikrometer simply by changing the surfactant amount used in the preparation of the precursor foams. The resulting porous carbon materials are charcterized by a carbon content >97%, an electronic conductivity of up to 2800 S/m, a Young's modulus of up to 2.1 GPa and a specific surface area of up to 1200 m<sup>2</sup>/g. <br>

Li−O2 batteries with carbon electrodes made from three commercial carbons and carbon made from waste tea leaves are investigated in this study. The waste tea leaves are recycled from household tea leaves and activated using KOH. The carbon materials have various specific surface areas, and porous structures are characterized by the N2 adsorption/desorption. Vulcan XC 72 carbon shows a higher specific surface area (264.1 m2/g) than the acetylene black (76.5 m2/g) and Super P (60.9 m2/g). The activated tea leaves have an extremely high specific surface area of 2868.4 m2/g. First, we find that the commercial carbons achieve similar discharge capacities of ∼2.50 Ah/g at 0.5 mA/cm2. The micropores in carbon materials result in a high specific surface area but cannot help to achieve higher discharge capacity because it cannot accommodate the solid discharge product (Li2O2). Mixing the acetylene black and the Vulcan XC 72 improves the discharge capacity due to the optimized porous structure. The discharge capacity increases by 42% (from 2.73 ± 0.46 to 3.88 ± 0.22 Ah/g) at 0.5 mA/cm2 when the mass fraction of Vulcan XC 72 changes from 0 to 0.3. Second, the electrode made from activated tea leaves is demonstrated for the first time in Li−O2 batteries. Mixtures of activated tea leaves and acetylene black confirm that mixtures of carbon material with different specific surface areas can increase the discharge capacity. Moreover, carbon made from recycled tea leaves can reduce the cost of the electrode, making electrodes more economically achievable. This study practically enhances the discharge capacity of Li−O2 batteries using mixed carbons and provides a method for fabricating carbon electrodes with lower cost and better environmental friendliness.
