Abstract
As it is now established that global warming and climate change are a reality, international investments are pouring in and rightfully so for climate change mitigation. Carbon capture and separation (CCS) is therefore gaining paramount importance as it is considered one of the powerful solutions for global warming. Sorption on porous materials is a promising alternative to traditional carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture technologies. Owing to their sustainable availability, economic viability, and important recyclability, natural products-derived porous carbons have emerged as favorable and competitive materials for CO2 sorption. Furthermore, the fabrication of high-quality value-added functional porous carbon-based materials using renewable precursors and waste materials is an environmentally friendly approach. This review provides crucial insights and analyses to enhance the understanding of the application of porous carbons in CO2 capture. Various methods for the synthesis of porous carbon, their structural characterization, and parameters that influence their sorption properties are discussed. The review also delves into the utilization of molecular dynamics (MD), Monte Carlo (MC), density functional theory (DFT), and machine learning techniques for simulating adsorption and validating experimental results. Lastly, the review provides future outlook and research directions for progressing the use of natural products-derived porous carbons for CO2 capture.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been a promising anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical capacity and large interlayer spacing. However, its intrinsic poor electrical conductivity and large volume changes during the lithiation/delithiation reactions limit its practical application. An efficient synthesis strategy was developed to prepare the MoS2 nanocrystals well-anchored into the N-doped nanoporous carbon framework to deal with these challenges by a confined reaction space in an acrylonitrile-based porous polymer during the carbonization process. The prepared hybrid material comprises small 1T/2H-MoS2 nanoparticles surrounded by a nanoporous carbon matrix. In addition to the highly crystalline nature of the synthesized MoS2, the low ID/IG of the Raman spectrum demonstrated the development of graphitic domains in the carbon support during low-temperature pyrolysis (700 °C). This novel three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical composite shows superior advantages, such as decreased diffusion lengths of lithium ions, preventing the agglomeration of MoS2 nanocrystals, and maintaining the whole structural stability. The prepared C/MoS2 hybrid demonstrated fast rate performance and satisfactory cycling stability as an anode material for LIBs.

Abstract
Oxygen and nitrogen enriched micro-meso porous carbon powders have been prepared from pectin and melamine as oxygen and nitrogen containing organic precursors, respectively. The synthesis process has been performed following a solvothermal approach in an alkaline solution during which Pluronic F127 was added to the solution as the soft template. Following the solvothermal treatment, the carbonization process has been performed at 700, 850 and 950 °C. The synthesized porous carbons have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface area of 499.5 m2 g-1, total pore volume of 0.35 cm3 g-1, and a high nitrogen and oxygen content of 9.3 and 29.1 wt% are displayed for the fine sample. The optimal porous carbon had CO2 adsorption of up to 3.1 mmol g-1 at 273 K at 1 bar owing to abundant basic nitrogen-containing functionalities and the valuable micro-meso porous structure. Despite the absence of any reagent and also having a relatively moderate specific surface area, compared to similar materials, a very high ratio of adsorption capacity to specific surface area (6.2 μmol m-2) was observed. The Elovich kinetic model was found to be the best and the physisorption process was reported.

Abstract
Biomass-derived porous carbons are the most common adsorbent materials for O2/N2 adsorption because of their excellent textural properties, high surface area, and low expense. A new synthesis method based on a self-activation technique was developed for a new green porous carbon adsorbent. This ecofriendly system was used for the synthesis of hierarchical porous carbons from walnut-shell precursors. The sorbent was successfully synthesized by facile one-step carbonization, with the activating reagents being gases released during the activation. The sample morphology and structure were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric, and differential thermal analysis. The optimal porous carbons were synthesized at 1000 °C, providing a surface area as high as 2042.4 (m2 g−1) and micropore volume of about 0.499 (m3 g−1). At 298 °K under 9.5 bar pressure, the potential for O2/N2 separation using porous carbon samples was studied, and the sips isotherms with the highest adsorption potential were determined to be 2.94 (mmol g−1) and 2.67 (mmol g−1), respectively. The sample exhibited stable O2/N2 separation over ten cycles, showing high reusability for air separation. Finally, the technology described presents a promising strategy for producing eco-friendly porous carbon from a variety of biomass on an industrial scale. Green porous carbon was synthesized by self-activation methodology with facile one-step carbonization from a walnut-shell precursor for air separation. The adsorption process behavior was surveyed using isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic models.![]()
