Heteroatom doping is a promising strategy for improving adsorption performance of cost-effective carbon materials for heavy-metal ions from wastewater. However, the lack of theoretical research restricts its development. Herein, theoretical simulations successfully predict that the short distance between the N and S sites is a key factor for the N,...

Two-step carbonization method was reported to synthesize Co-N doped coal tar pitch (CTP) carbon-based electrocatalysts with hierarchical pore structure, high local order degree and efficient Co-N-x active structure simultaneously. The synergistic effect of the carbon substrate with highly ordered structure and the Co-N-x active sites realized the "...

Powdery hierarchical porous carbons serve as cost-effective, functional materials in various fields, namely energy storage, heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, and water/wastewater treatment. Such powdered activated carbons (PAC) limit new module designs and require further preparation steps, for example, adding polymeric binders, to be shap...
The electrochemical stability of electrolytes is essential to the working potential of supercapacitors. Ionic liquids (ILs) are being considered as safe alternatives to current organic electrolytes and attracting extensive interests owing to their inflammability, widened potential windows, and superior ionic conductivity. Novel supercapacitors with...

Thermochemical conversion of biomass produces tar, as an inevitable byproduct, which was a potentially precursor for carbon material preparation. This study provided an approach of preparation of tar-based Fenton-like catalytic nanoparticles from waste biomass tar via green solvent-free approach. The monoand bimetallic nanocatalysts were synthesize...
