Biochar-based materials have been known as promising materials for energy storage and conversion applications owing to their superior structural properties (e.g., the porosity and large surface area) and diversity of functional groups, which can be exploited for safe, modern, and environment-friendly materials.
Abstract. Biochar is a carbon-rich solid prepared by the thermal treatment of biomass in an oxygen-limiting environment. It can be customized to enhance its structural and electrochemical properties by imparting porosity, increasing its surface area, enhancing graphitization, or modifying the surface functionalities by doping heteroatoms. All ...
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is an important ecological security barrier in China. Considering the rich local waste biomass with a single treatment method and low level of resource utilization, biochar utilization of solid waste biomass can be carried out based on the research that biochar has abundant material sources. According to the …
