Activated carbons (ACs) were prepared by physical (CO2) and chemical (K2CO3) activation of wood (Japanese cypress). Porous properties of the ACs, such as BET surface area and micropore volumes Vmic(N2) and Vmic(CO2), were characterized by N2 and CO2 adsorption isotherms. Short activation times cause...
