Abstract

In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to methods of capturing CO₂ from an environment by associating the environment (e.g., a pressurized environment) with a porous carbon material that comprises a plurality of pores and a plurality of nucleophilic moieties. In some embodiments, the associating results in sorption of CO₂ to the porous carbon materials. In some embodiments, the sorption of CO₂ to the porous carbon materials occurs selectively over hydrocarbons in the environment. In some embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure also include a step of releasing captured CO₂ from porous carbon materials. In some embodiments, the releasing occurs without any heating steps by decreasing environmental pressure. In some embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure also include a step of disposing released CO₂ and reusing porous carbon materials. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to porous carbon materials that are used for CO₂ capture.
