Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Special Issue on “Advanced Tunable Micro-Mesoporous Carbon Materials for Gas Adsorption/Capture”. As the Guest Editor, I am thrilled to introduce this collection of research articles exploring the exciting developments in the field of carbon materials and their applications in gas adsorption and capture.
Carbon materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties, including high surface area, tunable porosity, and exceptional stability. These characteristics make them ideal candidates for various gas separation and capture processes. This Special Issue focuses on micro-mesoporous carbon materials, which offer enhanced gas adsorption capacities and selectivities, opening up new possibilities for efficient gas separation technologies.
The articles featured in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics, including the synthesis and characterization of advanced carbon materials, investigations into their gas adsorption behavior, and their potential applications in industrial gas separation processes. Researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds have contributed their expertise to shed light on the latest advancements in this field.
A key area of research explored in this issue is the design and synthesis of tailored micro-mesoporous carbon materials. These articles delve into the strategies employed to control the pore size distribution, surface chemistry, and morphology of carbon materials, thereby optimizing their gas adsorption properties. The contributions highlight innovative synthesis techniques and the use of various precursors, templating agents, and activation methods to achieve desired carbon structures. These investigations provide valuable insights into the relationship between the carbon material's structure and its gas adsorption performance. Furthermore, this Special Issue covers a wide range of gas separation and purification applications, from capturing greenhouse gases and climate change mitigation to removing pollutants from industrial effluents, CO2 and H2S capture, direct air capture of CO2 and volatile organic compound (VOC) removal.
It is my hope that this collection will inspire researchers and stimulate new ideas for developing efficient gas separation and capture technologies.
Thank you for your interest in and support for this Special Issue.
