“…Over the past few decades, many high-surface-area materials such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) [ 13 , 14 ], zeolites [ 15 ], porous polymers [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], amine-modified materials [ 19 , 20 ], covalent–organic frameworks (COFs) [ 21 ], and different forms of porous carbons [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] have been explored as possible CO 2 adsorbents. Among these, porous carbon adsorbents are considered to be the most promising based on their superb characteristics such as regulated porous structure, abundant precursors, robustness, high surface area, high hydrophobicity, and energy-efficient recovery where much less energy is required for regeneration compared to conventional capture techniques [ 32 , 33 ].…”
