Abstract

A novel strategy for tailoring the adsorption and structural properties of ionic liquid derived carbons has been developed. By changing the carbonization temperature and ratios of ionic liquids (ILs) containing a cross-linkable anion, such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [BMIm][C(CN)₃] and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetracyanoborate [EMIm][B(CN)₄], boron and nitrogen-rich carbons with slit-like pores and specific surface areas exceeding 500 m² g^-1 have been prepared. Furthermore, the nitrogen-rich carbons exhibit high adsorption capacity for CO₂ adsorption and selectivity for CO₂/N₂ separation.
