The energy crisis caused by the incessant growth in global energy demand joint to its
associated greenhouse emissions motivates the urgent need to control and mitigate …

Electrochemical sensors play a significant role in the industry and in everyday life. There has
been a strong demand for short reaction time, and for highly sensitive, selective, responsive …

Materialization of coal is one of effective and clean pathways for its utilization. The
microstructures of coal-based carbon materials have an important influence on their …

Cotton stalk (CS) was successively treated via one-step and two-step activation process to
synthesize activated carbons (ACs), which were utilized for electrode substances in the …

A series of nanoporous activated biocarbons have been successfully obtained from novel
carbon precursor-lumpy bracket. The textural properties of the biocarbons were tailored …

A novel self-catalytic activation approach is developed for the preparation of hierarchically
porous carbon from rotten potato wastes. Metals already existing within the rotten potatoes …

Ordered Pt alloy electrocatalysts supported on carbon nanomaterials have attracted
widespread attention, especially for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), due to the …

Flexible thermoelectric generators offer the possibility of harvesting waste heat from the
human body. However, intrinsic brittleness and the high production cost of bulk …

The one-step synthesis of new tailored nanoporous carbons (NCs) from the common
polypody (Polypodium vulgare) as feedstock for the first time was presented. The …

In this work, we report the use of activated carbon synthesized from a sustainable material-
fern leaves-as a sorbent for carbon dioxide capture applications. The resource-friendly …
