Although carbon is the second most abundant element in the biosphere, a large proportion
of the available carbon resources in biomass from agriculture, stock farming, ocean …

Biorefining is an essential component for achieving a sustainable economy. This approach
makes use of zero-waste technologies and generates renewable energy. Besides …

In the study, cassava slag biochar was produced from agricultural waste cassava slag by
simple hydrothermal carbonization treatment, and its adsorption on dyes in aqueous …

The difficulties in integration of different active sites and structural optimization are huge
obstacles in developing multi-functional electrocatalysts. In the present work, a molten salt …

Biochar has very low adsorption capacity to anionic dyes due to negative charge on the
surface. Herein, a dual-templating strategy by mild activators (K 2 C 2 O 4· H 2 O and CaCO …

Abstract Phenolic additives, including 2-naphthol, 2-naphthol-7-sulfonate, and resorcinol
were evaluated for their impact on the lignin re-polymerization and subsequent hydrolysis of …

Conversion of bio-wastes to useful doped carbon materials for various energy applications
is emerging as a cost-effective strategy. A novel activated carbon electrocatalyst derived …

In recent years, heteroatom-incorporated specially structured metal-free carbon
nanomaterials have drawn huge attention among researchers. In comparison to the …

High volatile matter contents in the feedstock could promote the development of porous
structures and the reactivity of biochar. Herein, tobacco midrib with high volatile matter …

A biomass derived hybrid metal oxides/nitrogen doped porous carbon (NC) electrocatalyst is
fabricated by direct pyrolysis of the water hyacinth root (WHR) mixed ZnCl 2 raw materials at …
