HTL Derived Biochar for Supercapacitor Electrodes

Huynh K., Maddipudi B.K., Amar V.S., Houck J.D., Shende R.V., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US

In this study, biochar samples were prepared by conversion of biomass feedstock (corn stover) via catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and later used as electrode material in conjunction with sol-gel derived perovskite based mixed (Mn,Ti)-oxides (Mn:Ti [...]

Nitrogen-modified biomass-derived porous carbon for electric double layer capacitors application

Wang K., Gu Z., Fan Q., South Dakota State University, US

This work shows that N-doped carbon can be derived from pyrrole modified biomass-lignin. Simultaneous chemical and physical activation using potassium hydroxide during the heat treatment can effectively create porous N-doped carbon. The activated carbon possesses [...]

Hollow Granules of Nitrogen/Boron co-doped Carbon for CO2 Capture

Kim J., Han J., Ha D., Han J., Kang S., Seoul National University, KR

Carbide-derived carbon (CDC) has been examined due to its useful conformal character. However, its variety of chemical composition is limited because functionalized atoms in its carbonaceous structure, especially with nitrogen, are unstable during high-temperature processing. [...]
