Abstract

In this work, we illustrate a template strategy to create extra pores in microporous carbon for enhancing ambient-pressure CO2 uptake, as exemplified in the context of carbonizing the silicon-containing POP, PPN-4, followed by removal of the silicon template. The resultant PPN-4/C600 demonstrates a remarkable enhancement of CO2 uptake capacity at 295 K and 1 bar by a factor of 2.3 compared to the parent PPN-4.
