摘要

3D formicary-like carbon was fabricated by using lotus leaf stem as renewable carbon precursor via a facile and easy-scale up route of carbonization and KOH activation. The resultant carbon exhibited 3D hierarchical porous architecture with high surface area and cross-linked voids in macro/meso/micro-size and proper pore size distribution, along with the favorable co-doping of O-N-S heteroatoms. These features endowed constructive coordination for high-performance dye absorbent with an ultra-high adsorption capacity of 6939 mg g−1 for Rhodamine B. The adsorption of dye onto as-fabricated carbon was a spontaneous endothermic process, and complied with pseudo-second kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The cohesion between adsorbate and adsorbent was proposed to be π-π stacking, hydrogen bond and acid–base interactions for the high dye capacity. These data indicated the great potentiality to convert green biomass into advanced carbon for the wastewater purification.
