Due to their much more developed porosity, the bark-PF based porous carbons (BRC) showed much higher sorption capacities of CO2 and toluene. At 100 kPa, BRC-3 exhibited the highest CO2 sorption capacities, up to 7.23 and 4.45 mol\textperiodcenteredg1 at 0 \textdegreeC and 25 \textdegreeC, respectively. Comparatively, the nori-based porous materials gived better CO2 sorption performance at low pressure. The CO2 sorption capacity of Nori-ZnCl2 -2:1-700 is 0.97 mol\textperiodcenteredg1 at 25 \textdegreeC under 15 kPa. BRC-3, the materials with the highest pore volume, showed the highest toluene sorption capacity of 145 mg\textperiodcenteredg1. All the results indicated that the effective pore channels are different for CO2 or toluene because of the difference in molecular diameters. For the smaller CO2 molecular, the micropores smaller than 1 nm, especially the extremely smaller than 0.7 nm, are most effective. However, for the much larger toluene molecular, the big micropores and small sized mesopores are effective.", }
