Millimeter-sized activated carbon spheres are potential candidates for industrial-scale CO2capture. Millimeter-sized sulfur-doped microporous activated carbon spheres were synthesized from poly(styrene–divinylbenzene), a very cheap and easily operated resin product, in the present work and studied for CO2uptake. A series of sulfur-doped spherical carbon materials were yielded through the sulfonation, oxidation, carbonization, and KOH activation of the polymer precursors. In addition to promoting the cross-linking of the polymer molecules, the sulfonic substituents directly introduced sulfur functional groups into the carbon materials after pyrolysis. The SCS-700 sample showed the best CO2adsorption performance, whose sulfur content reached 0.69 wt %, and exhibited a high surface area of 1526 m2g–1and a large pore volume of 0.726 cm3g–1. The adsorbent showed high CO2uptake at both 25 °C (4.21 mmol g–1) and 50 °C (2.54 mmol g–1) under ambient pressure due to its abundant ultramicropores and a high proportion of oxidized sulfur functional groups. Thanks to its high microporous volume of 0.617 cm3g–1, the CO2performance at 8 bar was 10.66 mmol g–1at 25 °C. The thermodynamics indicated the exothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process, which was dominated by a physisorption mechanism. Furthermore, the CO2uptake curves on a TGA analyzer were fitted with different kinetic models, and the fractional order model showed the best agreement with the experimental data. The recycling curve of SCS-700 exhibited excellent cyclic adsorption performance with no significant capacity loss even after ten adsorption–desorption cycles. It is suggested that this excellent CO2uptake was due to the synergistic effect of the well-developed microporous structure and the oxidized sulfur-containing functional groups.
