Optimization of the pore structure of biomass-based carbons in relation to their use for CO2 capture at low and high pressure regimes (2017)
Journal Article

A versatile chemical activation approach for the fabrication of sustainable porous carbons with a pore network tunable from micro- to hierarchical micro-/mesoporous is hereby presented. It is based on the use of a less corrosive and less toxic chemic...

Oxygen-rich microporous carbons with exceptional hydrogen storage capacity (2017)
Journal Article

Porous carbons have been extensively investigated for hydrogen storage but, to date, appear to have an upper limit to their storage capacity. Here, in an effort to circumvent this upper limit, we explore the potential of oxygen-rich activated carbons...

Cigarette butt-derived carbons have ultra-high surface area and unprecedented hydrogen storage capacity (2017)
Journal Article

Discarded cigarette filters, in the form of cigarette butts, are a major waste disposal and environmental pollution hazard due to mainly containing cellulose acetate which is nonbiodegradable; 5.8 trillion cigarettes are smoked worldwide per annum ge...

Ultra-high surface area mesoporous carbons for colossal pre combustion CO2 capture and storage as materials for hydrogen purification (2017)
Journal Article

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) by solid adsorbents is currently attracting a great deal of attention. In this study, a new direction in the treatment of activateable carbon-containing precursors generated a family of mesoporous carbons that possess...

Biomass to porous carbon in one step: directly activated biomass for high performance CO2 storage (2017)
Journal Article

This report explores the direct conversion of biomass to activated carbons in one step. We demonstrate the successful conversion of a range of biomass sources, namely, sawdust, the flowering plant Paeonia lactiflora and seaweed (Sargassum fusiforme),...
