Abstract
Progress reports are a new type of article in Advanced Engineering Materials, dealing with hot current topics, and providing readers with a critically selected overview of important progress in these fields. It is not intended that the articles be comprehensive, but rather insightful, selective, critical, opinionated, and even visionary. We have approached scientists we believe are at the very forefront of these fields to contribute the articles, which will appear on an annual basis. The article below describes the latest advances in Microporous and Mesoporous Materials.
Highlights
The emission of CO2 originating mainly from industry has become a worldwide problem responsible for the global warming
The values of isosteric heats of adsorption indicated on physisorption
The isotherms of all samples appear to become a combination of types I and IV according to IUPAC classification
Summary
The emission of CO2 originating mainly from industry has become a worldwide problem responsible for the global warming. The combustion of fossil fuel in power plants remains the Nowadays, many types of porous materials have been used in CO2 adsorption, such as zeolites [3], metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) [4], porous silica [5], and activated carbons (ACs) [2, 6,7,8,9] Among these adsorbents, activated carbon (AC) has drawn great attention recently because of its high adsorption capacity, low cost, availability, large surface area, an easy-todesign pore structure, hydrophobicity (insensitiveness to moisture), and low energy require‐ ments for regeneration [10, 11]. These amphiphilic molecules assembled in polar solvents forming a hexagonal array of cylindrical micelles in which the non‐polar hydrophobic water‐
