• A pre-treatment process is used to prepared N-doped carbon from waste biomass.
• Waste tobaccos, which are limited for the disposal, are used as the raw materials.
• The product shows a specific surface area and nitrogen content.
• Its electrochemical performance is better than commercial activated carbon.
• Its CO2 sorption performance is also better than commercial activated carbon.
Preparing nitrogen-doped porous carbons directly from waste biomass has received considerable interest for the purpose of realizing the atomic economy. In this study, N-doped porous carbons have been successfully prepared from waste tobaccos (WT) by a simple pre-treatment process. The sample calcinated at 700 °C (WT-700) shows a micro/meso-porous structures with a BET surface area of 1104 m2 g−1 and a nitrogen content of ca. 19.08 wt.% (EDS). Performance studies demonstrate that WT-700 displays 170 F g−1 electrocapacitivity at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 (in 6 M KOH), and a CO2 capacity of 3.6 mmol g−1 at 0 °C and 1 bar, and a selectivity of ca. 32 for CO2 over N2 at 25 °C. Our studies indicate that it is feasible to prepare N-enriched porous carbons from waste natural crops by a pre-treatment process for potential industrial application.
