Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedAbstractThis article reports on the synthesis and characterization of porous nitrogen-doped carbons synthesized by carbonization of coconut shell followed by urea modification and K2CO3activation. The as-synthesized samples were carefully characterized by various techniques. This series of samples demonstrate high CO2uptake at 1bar, up to 3.71mmol/g at 25°C in addition to 5.12mmol/g at 0°C. Furthermore, these sorbents possess fast CO2adsorption kinetics, stable reusability, moderate heat of CO2adsorption, reasonable CO2/N2selectivity, and high dynamic CO2capture capacity under simulated flue gas conditions. It is found that, in addition to nitrogen content and narrow micropore volume, the pore size distribution of narrow micropore also plays a major role in determining the CO2capture capacity under ambient condition. This work is intended to provide useful information and to inspire ways to develop new carbonaceous sorbents for removing CO2from combustion flue gas.]]>
