Templating of carbon in zeolites under pressure: synthesis of pelletized zeolite templated carbons with improved porosity and packing density for superior gas (CO2 and H2) uptake properties (2016)
Journal Article
Balahmar, N., Lowbridge, A. M., & Mokaya, R. (2016). Templating of carbon in zeolites under pressure: synthesis of pelletized zeolite templated carbons with improved porosity and packing density for superior gas (CO2 and H2) uptake properties. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 4(37), https://doi.org/10.1039/C6TA06176A

This report explores the use of compacted zeolite pellets as templates for the preparation of pelletized zeolite templated carbons (ZTCs). The effects of zeolite compaction before use as hard templates were investigated through the compression of pow...

Bridging the performance gap between electric double-layer capacitors and batteries with high-energy/high-power carbon nanotube-based electrodes (2016)
Journal Article
Matabosch Coromina, H., Adeniran, B., Mokaya, R., & Walsh, D. A. (2016). Bridging the performance gap between electric double-layer capacitors and batteries with high-energy/high-power carbon nanotube-based electrodes. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 4(38), 14586-14594. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ta05686e

Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) store electrical energy at the interface between charged electrodes and electrolytes and are higher-power devices than batteries. However, the amount of energy stored in EDLCs cannot compete with that in batte...

High yield and high packing density porous carbon for unprecedented CO2 capture from the first attempt at activation of air-carbonized biomass (2016)
Journal Article
Haffner-Staton, E., Balahmar, N., & Mokaya, R. (2016). High yield and high packing density porous carbon for unprecedented CO2 capture from the first attempt at activation of air-carbonized biomass. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 4(34), 13324-13335. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6TA06407H

The first attempt at activation of air-carbonized carbon reveals unusual resistance to activation and unprecedentedly high yields (32–80 wt%) of high packing density (0.7–1.14 g cm−3) microporous carbon dominated by 5.5–7 Å pores, which are just righ...

Is N-Doping in Porous Carbons Beneficial for CO2 Storage? Experimental Demonstration of the Relative Effects of Pore Size and N-Doping (2016)
Journal Article
Adeniran, B., & Mokaya, R. (2016). Is N-Doping in Porous Carbons Beneficial for CO2 Storage? Experimental Demonstration of the Relative Effects of Pore Size and N-Doping. Chemistry of Materials, 28(3), 994–1001. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.5b05020

The relative influence of nitrogen doping and pore size of highly microporous carbon materials, with virtually identical porosity, on CO2 uptake capacity at low pressure (≤1 bar) is presented in this article. The carbon materials are prepared via a r... Read More about Is N-Doping in Porous Carbons Beneficial for CO2 Storage? Experimental Demonstration of the Relative Effects of Pore Size and N-Doping.
