“…Adsorption is one of the most common methods to capture CO 2 because of its high adsorption capacity, low cost, low energy requirements and ease of operation [ 14 ]. According to the literature report, the adsorbents can be divided into three types [ 15 ]: low-temperature (<200 degrees Celsius (°C)) adsorbents such as metal-organic frameworks [ 16 ] (MOFs), porous organic polymers [ 17 ], porous carbons [ 18 ], zeolites [ 19 ] and organic-inorganic hybrids [ 20 ]; intermediate (200–400 °C) absorbents such as metal oxides [ 21 ] and hydrotalcite [ 22 ], and high-temperature (>600 °C) adsorbents such as lithium zirconate [ 23 ]. Porous carbon-based materials have attracted much attention in CO 2 capture owing to wide availability, physiochemical stability and variable design to tune their porosity [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], such as those derived by natural resources including lignin [ 29 , 30 ], starch [ 31 ], cellulose [ 32 , 33 ], chitosan [ 34 , 35 ], cyclodextrin [ 36 , 37 ].…”
