Biopitch produced from eucalyptus wood pyrolysis liquids as a renewable binder for carbon electrode manufacture

Activated carbon from flash pyrolysis of eucalyptus residue

Forestry waste (eucalyptus sp) was converted into activated carbon by initial flash pyrolysis followed carbonization and CO2 activation. These residues were obtained from a pilot plant in Spain that produces biofuel, the biochar represented 10-15% in weight. It was observed that the highest activation was achieved at a temperature of 800 °C, the specific surface increased with time but, on the ...

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of lipids from Eucalyptus globulus wood.

Various typical lipid components of wood extractives have been isolated from Eucalyptus globulus wood by supercritical carbon dioxide modified with methanol. The influence of various extraction parameters on the yield and qualitative composition of the extracts have been studied. The extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and compared with those obtained by Soxhlet extra...

Biomass-Derived Carbon Fiber Aerogel as a Binder-Free Electrode for High-Rate Supercapacitors

A flexible carbon fiber aerogel with a very high surface area for supercapacitor application is reported by carbonization and chemical activation of low-cost natural cotton with KOH. The carbon fibers in the aerogel present as a twisted and tubular structure. Depending on the amount of KOH used in the activation process, the specific surface area of aerogels ranges from 1536 to 2436 m g−1, whil...

Nitrogen-Doped Banana Peel–Derived Porous Carbon Foam as Binder-Free Electrode for Supercapacitors

Nitrogen-doped banana peel-derived porous carbon foam (N-BPPCF) successfully prepared from banana peels is used as a binder-free electrode for supercapacitors. The N-BPPCF exhibits superior performance including high specific surface areas of 1357.6 m²/g, large pore volume of 0.77 cm³/g, suitable mesopore size distributions around 3.9 nm, and super hydrophilicity with nitrogen-containing functi...
