Porous carbons from sustainable sources and mild activation for targeted high-performance CO<sub>2</sub> capture and storage
Abdulsalam M. Aljumialy, Robert Mokaya
Abstract
Activation of biomass or biomass containing precursors with potassium oxalate, a milder and less corrosive agent compared to hydroxide activation, offers a more sustainable route to activated carbons for targeted high-performance CO<sub>2</sub> capture.
