Because of the high stability, tailorable surface properties, and plentiful porosity, nitrogen-doped porous carbons (NPCs) are of great interest for CO2 capture. Carbonization of nitrogen-containing polymers is regularly utilized for the fabrication of NPCs, but such a method is obstructed by the hi...
