Heteroatom-doped microporous carbon nanosheets derived from pentaerythritol-melamine for supercapacitors and CO₂ capture by Hu, Xiaochun, Luo, Yuqing, Wu, Xianyue, Niu, Jiabin, Tan, Mingwu, Sun, Zhiqiang, Liu, Wen

“…When used for CO2 capture, the HMCN synthesized by the pyrolysis of a 3:2 mixture of MEL and PER at 900 °C (3/2-HMCNs-900) affords a CO2 uptake of 5.35 mmol g−1 at 273 K and 1 bar CO2 partial pressure. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the high CO2 uptake performance of the HMCNs is associated with the chemical modification of the surface, as a result of N- and O- co-doping. …”
