Abstract
Waste-derived nitrogen-containing porous carbons were widely accepted as promising carbon capture materials. However, roles of nitrogen in CO2 uptake were highly controversial, posing a challenge in designing high CO2 uptake porous carbons. Herein, nitrogen-containing species was firstly introduced into machine learning (ML) models to uncover the complex relationship of nitrogen, micropore and CO2 uptake by combining ML models, DFT computations and experiments. The results revealed that micropore volume (Vmicro) was the most important property influencing CO2 uptake, but was not the only determinant factor. Nitrogen-containing species (pyrrolic/pyridonic-N (N5) and pyridinic-N (N6)) rather than total nitrogen content, also played an essential role. On the one hand, they can enhanced CO2 adsorption by Lewis acid-base and hydrogen bonding. On the other hand, they promoted development of micropores by participating in activation reactions. The model further indicated that excessive N5 (>1.5 wt%) or N6 (>1.7 wt%) led to restriction on developments of micropores, which was attributed to enlargement of pore size, collapses or blockage of micropores. The double edged-sword effect of N5 and N6 on changes of microporous structures was responsible for the long-standing controversy over nitrogen. The result was further verified by synthesizing eight porous carbons with different textural and chemical properties. This study provided not only a new perspective for resolving the controversy of nitrogen in CO2 uptake, but also a graphical user interface prediction software meaningful for designing porous carbons.

Abstract
Five nitrogen sources (glycine, β-alanine, urea, melamine and nicotinamide) and three heating methods (thermal, monomodal microwave and multimodal microwave) are used to prepare nitrogen-doped Starbons® derived from starch. The materials are initially produced at 250-300 °C (SNx 300y ), then heated in vacuo to 800 °C to produce nitrogen-doped SNx 800y 's. Melamine gives the highest nitrogen incorporation without destroying the Starbon® pore structure and the microwave heating methods give higher nitrogen incorporations than thermal heating. The carbon dioxide adsorption capacities of the nitrogen-doped Starbons® determined gravimetrically, in many cases exceed those of S300 and S800. The carbon dioxide, nitrogen and methane adsorption isotherms of the most promising materials are measured volumetrically. Most of the nitrogen-doped materials show higher carbon dioxide adsorption capacities than S800, but lower methane and nitrogen adsorption capacities. As a result, the nitrogen-doped Starbons® exhibit significantly enhanced carbon dioxide versus nitrogen and methane versus nitrogen selectivities compared to S800.

Abstract
The use of potassium hydroxide activated Starbons® derived from starch and alginic acid as adsorbents for 29 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was investigated. In every case, the alginic acid derived Starbon (A800K2) was found to be the optimal adsorbent, significantly outperforming both commercial activated carbon and starch derived, activated Starbon (S800K2). The saturated adsorption capacity of A800K2 depends on both the size of the VOC and the functional groups it contains. The highest saturated adsorption capacities were obtained with small VOCs. For VOC's of similar size, the presence of polarizable electrons in lone pairs or π-bonds within non-polar VOCs was beneficial. Analysis of porosimetry data suggests that the VOC's are being adsorbed within the pore structure of A800K2 rather than just on its surface. The adsorption was completely reversible by thermal treatment of the saturated Starbon under vacuum.

Abstract
Materials science and chemistry have played a central and significant role in advancing society. With the shift toward sustainable living, it is anticipated that the development of functional materials will continue to be vital for sustaining life on our planet. In the recent decades, rapid progress has been made in materials science and chemistry owing to the advances in experimental, analytical, and computational methods, thereby producing several novel and useful materials. However, most problems in material development are highly complex. Here, the best strategy for the development of functional materials via the implementation of three key concepts is discussed: nanotechnology as a game changer, nanoarchitectonics as an integrator, and materials informatics as a super-accelerator. Discussions from conceptual viewpoints and example recent developments, chiefly focused on nanoporous materials, are presented. It is anticipated that coupling these three strategies together will open advanced routes for the swift design and exploratory search of functional materials truly useful for solving real-world problems. These novel strategies will result in the evolution of nanoporous functional materials.

Abstract
Over the years, single heteroatom-doped biowaste-derived activated carbons were studied for effective CO2 adsorption. However, binary or ternary heteroatoms-doping is equally important and could significantly affect the CO2 adsorption and flue gas (i.e., CO2/N2) separation. Herein, for the first time, shrimp shell-derived chitosan was used to design a series of ternary (N, S, O)-doped hierarchically porous carbons. The resultant carbons exhibit a large specific surface area (up to 2095 m2/g), micropore volume (up to 1.2647 cm3/g), and high heteroatoms content i.e., N up to 4.1 at. %, S up to 4.6 at. %, and O up to 13.4 at. %. Consequently, high CO2 uptake of 236.80 mg/g at 273 K/1 bar and an excellent CO2/N2 gas selectivity (84.3) was observed, attributed to the synergistic role of narrow micropores (<1 nm) and optimum heteroatom content. Furthermore, the stable CO2 adsorption-desorption cyclic behavior under flue gas conditions i.e., 15% CO2/85% N2 reveals the physisorption mechanism of CO2 adsorption and appears to be an energy-efficient regeneration process. Concluding, our work demonstrates a facile route of valorization of biowaste for environmental remediation to combat biowaste accumulation and mitigating atmospheric CO2 levels, simultaneously.

Abstract
Creation of sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable absorbents with ideal absorption properties is a worldwide challenge because many high-performance absorbents are still restricted in laboratory scope due to several critical defects (like complex and eco-unfriendly synthesis process, high cost, and difficulty in large-scale production). Herein, a facile and scalable top-to-bottom design is proposed to create a kind of novel anisotropic carbon aerogels with low tortuosity of stacked laminated structure, derived from the hierarchical cellular channels of balsa wood. By virtue of this unique structure and favorable oleophilicity, fast passive capillary absorption with low flow resistance is achieved (as demonstrated by the theoretical modeling). As a result, the anisotropic carbon aerogels have quite sensitive selectivity to separate organic pollutants from water, broad-spectrum and high absorption capacity for different organic liquids (13 277-31 597 mg g-1), and superior recyclability (98.7% absorption capacity retention after five cycles). Combining these outstanding performances with a cheap preparation strategy as well as good environmental friendliness, this work provides a kind of potential scalable materials for efficient reusable absorption and separation of organic leakages.

Abstract
The recovery and separation of high value and low volume extractives are a considerable challenge for the commercial realisation of zero-waste biorefineries. Using solid-phase extractions (SPE) based on sustainable sorbents is a promising method to enable efficient, green and selective separation of these complex extractive mixtures. Mesoporous carbonaceous solids derived from renewable polysaccharides are ideal stationary phases due to their tuneable functionality and surface structure. In this study, the structure-separation relationships of thirteen polysaccharide-derived mesoporous materials and two modified types as sorbents for ten naturally-occurring bioactive phenolic compounds were investigated. For the first time, a comprehensive statistical analysis of the key molecular and surface properties influencing the recovery of these species was carried out. The obtained results show the possibility of developing tailored materials for purification, separation or extraction, depending on the molecular composition of the analyte. The wide versatility and application span of these polysaccharide-derived mesoporous materials offer new sustainable and inexpensive alternatives to traditional silica-based stationary phases.

Abstract
Porous carbons with different textural properties exhibit great differences in CO2 adsorption capacity. It is generally known that narrow micropores contribute to higher CO2 adsorption capacity. However, it is still unclear what role each variable in the textural properties plays in CO2 adsorption. Herein, a deep neural network is trained as a generative model to direct the relationship between CO2 adsorption of porous carbons and corresponding textural properties. The trained neural network is further employed as an implicit model to estimate its ability to predict the CO2 adsorption capacity of unknown porous carbons. Interestingly, the practical CO2 adsorption amounts are in good agreement with predicted values using surface area, micropore and mesopore volumes as the input values simultaneously. This unprecedented deep learning neural network (DNN) approach, a type of machine learning algorithm, exhibits great potential to predict gas adsorption and guide the development of next-generation carbons.

Abstract
Meso-macroporous polymers possessing nitrogen functionality were innovatively synthesized through an aqueous and template-free route herein. Specifically, the polymerization of 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1,3,5,7-tetraazaadamantan-1-ium chloride in aqueous solution under high temperatures induces the decomposition of the hexamethylenetetramine unit into ammonia and formaldehyde molecules, followed by the cross-linking of benzene rings through "resol chemistry". During this process, extended meso-macroporous frameworks were constructed, and active nitrogen species were incorporated. Taking the advantage of the meso-macroporosity and nitrogen functionality, the synthesized polymers offer competitive CO2 capacities (0.37-1.58 mmol g-1 at 0 °C and 0.15 bar) and outstanding CO2 /N2 selectivities (155-324 at 0 °C). Furthermore, after complexed with metal ions, the synthesized polymers show excellent activity for catalyzing the cycloaddition of propylene oxide with CO2 (yield>98.5 %, turnover frequency: 612.9-761.1 h-1 ).

Abstract
A solvent-free induced self-assembly technology for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous polymers (N-OMPs) is developed, which is realized by mixing polymer precursors with block copolymer templates, curing at 140-180 °C, and calcination to remove the templates. This synthetic strategy represents a significant advancement in the preparation of functional porous polymers through a fast and scalable yet environmentally friendly route, since no solvents or catalysts are used. The synthesized N-OMPs and their derived catalysts are found to exhibit competitive CO2 capacities (0.67-0.91 mmol g-1 at 25 °C and 0.15 bar), extraordinary CO2 /N2 selectivities (98-205 at 25 °C), and excellent activities for catalyzing conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonate (conversion >95% at 100 °C and 1.2 MPa for 1.5 h). The solvent-free technology developed in this work can also be extended to the synthesis of N-OMP/SiO2 nanocomposites, mesoporous SiO2 , crystalline mesoporous TiO2 , and TiPO, demonstrating its wide applicability in porous material synthesis.

Abstract
We propose a new synthetic route towards nanoporous functional carbon materials based on salt templating with pore-padding approach (STPP). STPP relies on the use of a pore-padding agent that undergoes an initial polymerisation/ condensation process prior to the formation of a solid carbon framework. The pore-padding agent allows tailoring hierarchically the pore-size distribution and controlling the amount of heteroatom (nitrogen in this case) functionalities as well as the type of nitrogen (graphitic, pyridinic, oxides of nitrogen) incorporated within the carbon framework in a single-step-process. Our newly developed STPP method offers a unique pathway and new design principle to create simultaneously high surface area, microporosity, functionality and pore hierarchy. The functional carbon materials produced by STPP showed a remarkable CO2 /N2 selectivity. At 273 K, a carbon with only micropores offered an exceptionally high CO2 adsorption capacity whereas a carbon with only mesopores showed promising CO2 -philicity with high CO2 /N2 selectivity in the range of 46-60 %, making them excellent candidates for CO2 capture from flue gas or for CO2 storage.
