An efficient low-temperature route to nitrogen-doping and activation of mesoporous carbons for CO2 capture

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Dec 18;51(97):17261-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc05619e.

Abstract

An innovative strategy for post-synthesis nitrogen-doping of mesoporous carbons (MCs) with high yields (>90%) at low temperatures (230-380 °C) by using a strong base, sodium amide (NaNH2), was developed. The as-prepared N-doped MCs exhibit a significantly enhanced CO2 adsorption performance in terms of capacity and selectivity when compared to their parent MCs.
