Article Synopsis
- Lignin, the second-most abundant biopolymer, was used to create sulfur-doped nanoporous carbons through a one-step synthesis process with sodium thiosulfate and potassium hydroxide.
- The synthesized carbons exhibited impressive properties, including a BET surface area ranging from 741 to 3626 m/g and sulfur content between 1-12.6 at.%, making them suitable for various applications.
- Gas adsorption tests indicated that these carbons have an exceptionally high capacity for CO, reaching up to ~11 mmol/g, and demonstrate significant selectivity in separating gases like CO, CH, and N, suggesting their potential use in gas separation technologies.
