Activated Carbon as Superadsorbent and Sustainable Material for Diverse Applications

Biopolymer-Activated Graphitic Carbon Nitride towards a Sustainable Photocathode Material

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion of solar light into chemical fuels is one of the most promising solutions to the challenge of sustainable energy. Graphitic carbon (IV) nitride polymer (g-CN) is an interesting sustainable photocathode material due to low-cost, visible-light sensitivity, and chemical stability up to 500 °C in air. However, grain boundary effects and limited active sites gre...

Activated carbon as a hazardous material.

Thermochemically activated carbon as an electrode material for supercapacitors

The results of electrochemical studies of nanoporous carbon as electrode material for electrochemical capacitors (EC) are presented in this work. Nanoporous carbon material (NCM) was obtained from the raw materials of plant origin by carbonization and subsequent activation in potassium hydroxide. It is established that there is an optimal ratio of 1:1 between content of KOH and carbon material ...

Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon derived from olive stone as adsorbent for Congo Red

Carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. Then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as pH, furnace temperature (T), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. In addition, the adsorption of Congo Red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...

Synthesis and Characterization of LiMnPO4/Carbon Nanocomposite Material as Cathode Material

Development of an eco-friendly, low cost and high energy density LiMnPO4 cathode material has attracted much attention due to its high operating voltage vs. Li falling within the electrochemical stability window of conventional electrolyte solutions and offers more safety features due to the presence of a strong P-O covalent bond.Synthesis of battery materials integrates the...
