Abstract
Carbonaceous materials have been widely studied as CO2 adsorbents in recent years. Fe/N doping can enhance the surface interactions between carbon materials and pollutants. In this study, the influence of Fe-N co-doping on biochar on the adsorption of CO2 was investigated in experimental and theoretical. The results of characterization revealed that Fe-N co-doping altered the pore structure and the aromaticity of the carbon material. Additionally, the introduction of nitrogen promoted the dispersion and anchoring of iron on the carbon surface. Fe-N co-doped biochar exhibited a maximum CO2 adsorption capacity of 3.58 mmol/g (1 bar, 298 K). Theoretical calculations indicated that Fe-N co-doping facilitated electron transfer between the carbon substrate and CO2, enhanced π–π stacking interactions, and strengthened the Lewis acid-base interactions between the substrate and CO2. Among all the adsorption sites, Fe site on the Fe-N-doped substrate demonstrated the highest adsorption energy for CO2 (−58 kJ/mol). Therefore, the Fe-N co-doping significantly enhanced the CO2 adsorption capacity of carbon materials by 16.23 % compared with DBC, offering valuable insights for the development of novel and efficient carbon-based materials for CO2 capture.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
