Modulating the porosity of activated carbons <i>via</i> pre-mixed precursors for simultaneously enhanced gravimetric and volumetric methane uptake
Afnan Altwala, Robert Mokaya
Abstract
The porosity of activated carbons may be modulated via pre-mixed precursors containing polypyrrole and air-carbonised biomass to ultra-high surface area and high packing density suitable for enhanced all-round methane storage.
