Abstract

Carbon capture and sequestration technologies are essential to reduce CO2 emissions which are responsible for global warming. Carbon-based materials can play an important role in the reduction of CO2 emissions. These materials are normally produced from biomass through technologies such as pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization. The type of biomass feedstock and biomass conversion conditions can significantly affect the textual properties and surface chemistry of the carbon materials. Various modification methods such as material activation or N-doping can improve the properties of carbon materials to obtain better CO2 capture effects. This review summarizes recently reported research in the areas of using biomass-based materials for CO2 capture. The technologies of biomass conversion to carbon materials and modification of the carbon materials are critically analyzed. Meanwhile, the mechanisms of the CO2 capture process and research of different modification carbon materials for CO2 capture are also discussed. Finally, potential future research directions are suggested to promote carbon capture using biomass-based materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
