Abstract

Hierarchical porous nitrogen-doped carbon (HPNC) materials are synthesized through one-step carbonization of polyimide using triblock copolymer P123 as mesoporous template. The microstructure, chemical composition and CO2 adsorption behaviors are investigated in detail. The results show that HPNC materials have hierarchical micro-/mesopore structures, high specific surface area of 579 m2/g, large pore volume of 0.34 cm3/g, and nitrogen functional groups (5.2 %). HPNC materials exhibit high CO2 uptake of 5.56 mmol/g at 25 °C and 1 bar, which is higher than those of previously reported nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials. After 5 cycles the value of CO2 adsorption uptakes is 5.28 mmol/g, which is approximately 95 % of the original adsorption capacity. The estimated CO2/N2 selectivity of HPNC materials is 17, revealing great promise for practical CO2 adsorption and separation applications. The efficient CO2 uptake and enhanced CO2/N2 selectivity are due to the combination of nitrogen-doped and hierarchical porous structures of HPNC materials.
