Nitrogen-doped microporous carbons were synthesized via pyrolytic carbonization of pyrrole in a FAU zeolite template, using a carbonization temperature of either 600 or 700 °C. The carbon products, which were freed by dissolution of the template, all possessed a zeolite-like ordered pore arrangement with a high specific surface area of 2300–2500 m² g⁻¹ and a sharp distribution of pore diameters centered at 0.9 nm. The N content was similarly 5 wt%, but X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that the 600 °C-pyrolized carbon had a relatively higher content of base-type N atoms (i.e., pyridinic and pyrrolic) than non-basic N (graphenic and oxidic), compared to the case at 700 °C. The 600 °C-pyrolized carbon exhibited an outstandingly high CO₂ uptake. A breakthrough test with a CO₂-H₂O-N₂ mixture at 1 bar indicated that the 600 °C-pyrolized carbon could capture CO₂ effectively under humid conditions. This result suggests that it is important for CO₂ capture, to achieve a high N content when doping with pyridinic or pyrrolic N as the major species. The high adsorption performance of zeolite-template carbon was attributable to the higher content of pyridinic N and pyrrolic N over graphitic N in the carbon, which provided basicity resulting in a strong chemisorption interaction with CO₂.

氮掺杂微孔碳是通过在 FAU 沸石模板中热解碳化吡咯合成的，碳化温度为 600 或 700 °C。通过模板溶解释放的碳产物都具有类似沸石的有序孔排列，具有2300-2500 m ² g ^-1的高比表面积和以0.9 nm为中心的孔径分布。N 含量同样为 5 wt%，但 X 射线光电子能谱分析表明，600 ℃热解碳的碱型 N 原子（即吡啶和吡咯）含量相对高于非碱性 N（石墨烯和氧化物），与 700 °C 的情况相比。600 °C 的热解碳表现出非常高的 CO₂摄取。_{在 1 bar 下使用 CO 2} -H ₂ O-N ₂混合物进行的突破性测试表明，600 °C 热解碳可以在潮湿条件下有效捕获 CO _{2 。}该结果表明，当以吡啶或吡咯N作为主要物质掺杂时，实现高N含量对于CO _{2捕获很重要。}沸石-模板碳的高吸附性能归因于碳中吡啶氮和吡咯氮的含量高于石墨氮，这提供了碱性，导致与CO ₂的强烈化学吸附相互作用。
