Highly porous nitrogen-doped activated carbons (NACs) were prepared by the chemical activation of chitosan using alkali carbonates. The NACs exhibited extremely high CO2 capacities of 1.6 mmol g(-1) (15 kPa) and 4.9 mmol g(-1) (100 kPa) at 25 °C. Nitrogen atoms doped into carbon frameworks clearly enhanced CO2 adsorption at low partial pressures.
