N‐doped, defective graphene obtained by pyrolysis of chitosan at 900 °C under Ar exhibits catalytic activity for the Sabatier hydrogenation of CO 2 to CH 4 at temperatures about 500 °C with estimated turnover frequencies and activation energy values of 73.17 s −1 and 24.3 kcal×mol −1 , respectively. It has been found that this enhanced catalytic activity compared to other related doped defective graphenes derives from the presence of pyridinic N atoms that adsorbs CO 2 forming carbamate‐type adsorbates.
