Carbon footprint of biomass-derived activated carbon: life cycle assessment, environmental sustainability, and carbon-negative potential.

The electrochemical effects of pitch stabilization for supercapacitor-grade activated carbon precursors

Petroleum pitch (PP) is a by-product generated during the petroleum refining process, characterized by its high carbon content, tunable structure, and cost-effectiveness. These attributes have spurred extensive research into its potential a...

Modelling the adsorption of iron and manganese by activated carbon from teak and shea charcoal for continuous low flow

Nearly 6494 boreholes with iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) concentrations above permissible limits of 0.3 mg/L and 0.4 mg/L respectively in Ghana have been abandoned because of ineffective water treatment solutions. Activated carbon prepared f...

Lab-scale coin-cell supercapattery assembled with nickel cobaltite/rGO nanocomposite electrodes for hybrid energy storage

Hybrid energy storage devices that bridge the gap between batteries and supercapacitors are critical for next-generation portable and high-power applications. In this work, a lab-scale coin cell asymmetric supercapattery device is fabricate...

Surface Modified Activated Carbons: Sustainable Bio-Based Materials for Environmental Remediation

Global warming and water/air contamination caused by human activities are major challenges in environmental pollution and climate change. The improper discharge of a large amount of agro-forest byproduct is accelerating these issues mainly ...

ADSORPTION PROPERTIES OF NICKEL-BASED MAGNETIC ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED BY PD-FREE ELECTROLESS PLATING

Nickel-based magnetic activated carbon was synthesized from coconut shell activated carbon by electroless plating with palladium-free activation. The effect of plating solution volume on metallic ratio and adsorption capacity were evaluated...
