Abstract:
This study introduces a new porous carbon for electrochemical CO2 capture. Featuring both micro- and mesoporosity, it outperforms predominantly microporous YP80F (a commercial benchmark) by delivering faster CO2 adsorption and lower energy consumption. This highlights the importance of mesoporosity in designing improved supercapacitor electrodes for rapid, energy-efficient electrochemical CO2 capture.
