Abstract The pineapple waste-derived porous carbons with enhanced CO2 adsorption performance were successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal carbonation and followed thermal activation using facile alkali metal oxalates instead of KOH or K2CO3 for chemical activation. Compared with macroporous-mesoporous carbons activated by Li2C2O4 and Na2C2O4, the microporous carbon activated by K2C2O4 at 700 °C with a relatively high specific surface area of 1076.3 m2 g−1 and big pore volume of 0.92 cm3 g-1 for narrow micropores (
