Abstract: Progress of CO2 adsorption，separation and capture using carbon-based adsorption materials in recent years are reviewed. With the global warming effects becoming significant，how to decrease the emission of CO2 as well as how to concentrate，separate and reuse the emitted CO2 have become one of the key problems that mankind faced. Carbon-based adsorption materials play an important role in the field of gas separation due to their good adsorption performance and well-developed porous structure. Meanwhile，these materials can be employed under very broad working conditions because of their stable chemical properties. Thus，carbon-based adsorption materials，as potential candidates for adsorption，capture and separation of CO2，show many advantages over many other adsorption materials.
