Abstract

In this study, the activated carbon with enriched nanofiber obtained from free-binder materials. It was conducted tofu dregs carbon nanofiber as electrode material for supercapacitor without the addition of pVdF/PTFE. The chemical impregnation of NaOH, ZnCl2 and H3PO4 at high-temperature pyrolysis in an N2-CO2 environment converted the tofu dregs into carbon coin. Subsequently, the physical properties including, microcrystalline, morphology, element analysis, and electrochemical properties of specific capacitance were investigated. The morphological structure of activated carbon showed high nanofiber density and was decorated by sponge-like pores. In addition, the nanofiber contains oxygen content of 12.70% which can act as self-doping due to the pseudo-capacitance properties. Furthermore, the two-electrode system obtained a specific capacitance of 163 F g-1 in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The results showed that tofu dregs-based activated carbon coins are sustainable and efficient to obtain high-dense nanofiber structure as electrode materials for energy storage applications.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to formulate activated carbon monolith from hazardous waste of cigarette filter butts (CFB) for electrode material monolith design in solid-state supercapacitor application. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) was selected for activation. The ratio of CFB to KOH varied in terms of weight between 1:2 and 1:4, thereby obtaining activated cigarette filter carbon (ACFC). The carbon that has been obtained is designed to be solidly in the form of an additive-free monolith. Monolith-activated carbon is physically characterized to examine thermal decomposition profiles (pre-carbonized), structure, composition, morphology, surface area adsorption, and electrochemical measurements. The optimum precursor was marked with high wettability with self-O-doped of 5.44%.in carbon content of 94.56%. Activated carbon electrodes prepared from ACFCs showed an optimum specific capacitance of ~87.17 F g-1, which is a more ecologically responsible method of producing supercapacitors.

Abstract

Biomass-based porous carbon is an exceptional material with unique nano-morphological properties and a high surface area, making it an ideal candidate for improving the performance of supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, activated carbon derived novel areca-nut waste (ANW) as electrodes materials were successfully produced using a simple method. The process involved drying the ANW using pre-carbonization, chemical activation, and high-temperature pyrolysis. The zinc chloride was selected as chemical catalytic in 1 m/l solution. Subsequently, porous carbon was produced at different physical activation temperatures of 800°C, 850°C, and 900°C. The activated carbon was converted into coin-like design with an additional adhesive of PVA. The electrochemical properties were assessed using a two-electrode system in a 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The ANW-based supercapacitor demonstrated good electrochemical performance, with an optimal specific capacitance of 94.6 F/g at 850°C. Additionally, it exhibited an optimal energy density of 12.8 Wh/kg and a power density of 245.516 W/kg. These results suggest that porous carbon derived from ANW biomass holds promise as a sustainable working electrode for green-supercapacitor.

Abstract

A major challenge in the use of supercapacitor energy storage applications is optimizing 3D-hierarchical porous and 2D nanofiber structures to improve the electrochemical performance of colored biomass-derived activated carbon (AC). Therefore, this study aims to synthesize AC from Dracaena Angustifolia (DA) leaves and dregs using a sustainable method through chemical activation and high-temperature pyrolysis. AC was designed to be adhesive-free to maintain the true mechanical properties of the precursor. Research results showed that the sample of DA-dregs-KOH shows optimal results with a specific surface area (317.66 m2 g-1). The electrochemical performance of hierarchical porous carbon treated with 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte in a 2-electrode system had a nanofiber structure with the highest specific capacitance (248 F g-1) at 1 A g-1 and energy density (12.96 Wh kg-1) with a coulomb efficiency 84.1%. Based on these results, DA dreg-KOH based porous AC with hierarchical porous morphology shows significant potential to be used as binder-free electrode materials that can produce high-performance supercapacitors as a new renewable and sustainable energy storage solution.

Abstract

Supercapacitors have become one of the potential solutions for efficient energy storage, and the development of carbon-based electrodes from biomass has received increasing attention due to their sustainability. This study aims to produce carbon electrodes from crab shells (CS) as biomass materials by optimizing the carbonization process with temperature variations of 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C for supercapacitor cell applications. Material characterization shows that the carbonization temperature of 700°C produces carbon electrodes with optimal semicrystalline structures and mesopore dominance, which supports efficient ion diffusion. The CS-700 carbon electrode showed the highest specific capacitance of 118.84 F/g in cyclic voltammetry tests with 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. These results indicate that carbonization at 700°C provides the best electrochemical performance, making it the optimal condition for developing efficient and environmentally friendly mud crab shell biomass-based electrodes for supercapacitor cell applications.

Abstract

Carbon capture is a vital strategy for mitigating climate change by reducing industrial CO2 emissions. Adsorption technology using microporous material shows significant promise. However, significant challenges persist in developing cost-effective and sustainable adsorbents. This study addresses this issue by simultaneously enabling CO2 adsorption and plastic waste utilization through activated carbon derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It was evaluated under isothermal conditions (27°C, 35°C, and 45°C) at pressures up to 3500 kPa. The maximum CO2 adsorption capacity was 0.21313 kg/kg at 27°C and 3504.39 kPa, demonstrating the effectiveness of PET-derived activated carbon in capturing CO2. The Toth isotherm model exhibited a strong fit with experimental data, with an R2 of more than 99%. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation yielded an adsorption heat of 2223.66 kJ/kg using the Toth fitting, and the Chakraborty-Saha-Koyama model yielded a heat of 2383.65 kJ/kg, confirming strong adsorption potential. These results underline PET waste as a viable precursor for sustainable carbon capture adsorbents. Furthermore, the results provide essential data for developing numerical models to optimize adsorption-based carbon capture technologies.

Abstract

To improve bio-organic-carbon quality for supercapacitors, consider using dual or more heteroatom for more profitable carbon-chain doping. Developing suitable sources and preparation strategies is challenging but essential. Herein, we introduce a potential carbon source derived from acacia plantation residues, doped with boron, oxygen, and phosphorus. The pore structure of this carbon material can be precisely tuned to exhibit a well-defined hierarchical arrangement of micro-, meso-, and macropores through a low-ratio of phosphoric acid (H?PO?) impregnation method combined with dual-environment (N2 and CO2) vertical pyrolysis in one step integrated. The resulting material displays a confirmed hierarchical morphology with a hierarchical transformation into tunnel pores, in specific surface area of 521.70 m²/g which contributed to high charge storage and deliverability. Additionally, the material contains significant levels of boron (0.93%), oxygen (9.19%), and phosphorus (0.34%), facilitating a reversible Faradic reaction in the working electrode. Consequently, optimized-electrode achieves a specific capacitance of 198 F/g at 1 A/g in H?SO? electrolyte. In a two-electrode system, records energy density of 14 Wh/kg (1 A/g) at a maximum power density of 670 W/kg (10 A/g). These findings suggest that the natural incorporation of boron, oxygen, and phosphorus enhances both the activity and the hierarchical pore structure of carbon derived from acacia plantation residues.

Abstract

Although ZnO photocatalysts show potential for wastewater treatment, their low efficiency limits the commercialization. To address this problem, we investigated the effect of co-doping ZnO with selenium (4%, fixed) and sulfur (0.5, 1, and 1.5 wt%). The catalysts were synthesized using Matoa leaf extract and zinc nitrate hexahydrate while being subjected to 540 W microwave irradiation. UV-Vis analysis revealed absorption peaks at 340-398 nm with sulfur doping increasing the band gap. XRD confirmed the preservation of the hexagonal wurtzite structure, while FESEM images showed a morphological transformation from nanoflowers to petal flakes with increasing sulfur content. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of S, Se, Zn, and O, while FTIR analysis identified OH groups from the extract in the nanoparticles. BET surface area was found to progressively reduced from 24.58 to 16.86 m²/g with sulfur doping. The co-doped catalyst with 0.5 wt% sulfur (0.5S(4Se-ZnO)) demonstrated the highest degradation of 4-nitrophenol at 99.69%, indicating its applicability in industrial wastewater treatment. These findings indicate that the Se/S co-doped ZnO, prepared via a green synthesis route, holds a strong promise as an efficient and practical photocatalyst for addressing environmental pollution in a sustainable and economical manner.
