A new microporous carbon material synthesized via thermolysis of a porous aromatic framework embedded with an extra carbon source for low- pressure CO2 uptake

Pre-introducing an extra carbon source into the porous aromatic framework of PAF-1 followed by thermolysis affords a new microporous carbon material, which demonstrates a CO2 uptake capacity of 93 cm(3) g(-1) (equivalent to 4.1 mmol g(-1) or 18.2 wt%) at 295 K and 1 bar.
