High inherent microporosity of the polypyrrole-derived carbon spheres was further optimized by controlled KOH activation with the intention to achieve high CO2 adsorption capacity. After activation the spherical morphology and nitrogen doping were retained and the volume of micropores, especially ultramicropores, was noticeably enhanced. High ultramicropore volumes of these spheres resulted in the superior CO2 uptakes under ambient pressure, reaching 7.73 mmol g(-1) and 5.42 mmol g(-1) at 0 degrees C and 25 degrees C, respectively. This study shows an effective way for designing of carbon spheres with high CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity.
