Description: This research demonstrates the conversion of grape marc into highly carbonaceous and oxygen functionalized porous activated biocarbons (PABs) with a high specific area for CO₂ capture. The materials are synthesized using KOH activation at 800 °C and show a high content of micropores and high specific surface areas which can be easily manipulated by varying the amount of KOH. The optimized material PAB3 obtained using KOH/grape marc biochar ratio of 3 displays the highest specific surface area (2473 m² g⁻¹), high micropore volume (0.72 cm³ g⁻¹) and a pore diameter of 0.74 nm. Owing to its highly developed porosity and excellent textural parameters, PAB3 exhibits a high CO₂ adsorption of 6.2 mmol g⁻¹ at 0 °C/1 bar and 26.8 mmol g⁻¹ at 0 °C/30 bar. It is often considered challenging to synthesize a CO₂ adsorbent with all-round performance for CO₂ capture under diverse conditions of temperature and pressure. The optimized material PAB3 is also found to be thermally stable which when coupled with its superior CO₂ capture performance presents a promising candidature in the field of carbon capture. Furthermore, the excellent features of the synthesized material suggest that these materials could be extended to several other adsorption related fields.
