Abstract

This study introduces a new porous carbon for eletrochemical CO 2 capture. Featuring both micro- and meso-porosity, it outperforms predominantly microporous YP80F (a commercial benchmark) by delivering faster CO 2 adsorption and lower energy consumption. This highlights the importance of meso-porosity in designing improved supercapacitor electrodes for rapid, energy-efficient electrochemical CO 2 capture.
