Abstract
To address the bottleneck associated with the slow ion transport kinetics observed in the porosity of activated carbons (ACs), hierarchically structured pore sizes were introduced on ACs used for electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) to promote ion transport kinetics under fast-rate charge-discharge conditions. In this study, we synthesized cellophane noodle-derived activated carbon (CNAC) with tailored porous structures, including the pore volume fraction of macro/meso/micropores and the specific surface area. The porous structures were effectively modulated by adjusting the KOH concentration during chemical activation. In addition, optimized KOH activation in CNAC modulated the chemical bonding ratios of C=O, pyrrolic-N, and graphitic-N. Given the hierarchically designed porous structure and chemical bonding states, the CNAC fabricated with optimized KOH activation exhibited a superior ultrafast rate capability in EDLCs (132.0 F/g at 10 A/g).

Abstract
Capacitive deionization is an emerging water desalination technology for industrial applications. Recent advancements in electrode design and system development have led to the reporting of ultra-high salt adsorption performance, benefiting its potential application in agricultural water treatment at a potentially low cost. In this study, we provide a comprehensive summary of the porous electrode design strategy to achieve ultra-high ion adsorption performance, considering factors such as experimental parameters, chemically tuned material properties, redox chemistry and smart nanoarchitecture for future electrode design. Furthermore, we endeavor to establish a correlation between capacitive deionization (CDI) technology and its applicability in the agricultural sector, specifically concentrating on water treatment with an emphasis on undesirable ions associated with salinity, hardness, and heavy metals, to achieve harmless irrigation. Additionally, to ensure the efficient and cost-effective application of CDI systems in agriculture, a thorough overview of the literature on CDI cost analysis is presented. By addressing these aspects, we anticipate that ultra-high salt adsorption CDI systems hold great promise in future agricultural applications.

Abstract
The widely existed humic acid (HA) with abundant redox-active groups has been considered to play an important role in biogeochemistry in sediments and soils. Recent studies reported that HA showed great performance in terms of electron transfer capacity (up to HAEDC = 94 mmol e-/mol C, HAEAC = 42 mmol e-/mol C). Since HA is widely available, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, the electrochemistry of HA has been explored to apply in many fields, such as environmental remediation, detection sensor and energy storage. Whereas, these prospective applications of HA and their electrochemical principles were lack of a comprehensive summary. In this review, the electrochemical properties and the prospective electrochemical applications of HA were summarized. Simultaneously, the existing problems like shortages of traditional electrochemical characterization of HA, and future research directions about HA electrochemistry were prospected. This review provides a deeper understanding of HA electrochemistry, and also inspires ideas for environmental remediation, detection sensor and energy storage by exploring the potential application values of HA.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop an extremely highly porous activated carbon derived from soybean curd residues (SCB-AC) through two-step pyrolyzing coupled with KOH activating process and then apply it for removing paracetamol (PRC) and tetracycline (TCH) from water. The optimal conditions for chemical activation were 800 °C and the ratio of KOH to material (4/1; wt./wt.). SCB-AC adsorbents (before and after adsorption) were characterized by Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analyser, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Adsorption kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics were concluded under batch experiments. The effects of pH (2-10) and NaCl (0-1 M) on adsorption processes were investigated. Reusable properties of laden SCB-AC were evaluated by studying desorption and cycles of adsorption/desorption. Results indicated that SCB-AC exhibited a large specific surface area (3306 m2/g) and high total pore volume (2.307 cm3/g), with mesoporous volume accounting for 86.9%. Its porosity characteristics (average pore width: 2.725 nm) are very appropriate for adsorbing two pharmaceuticals through pore-filling mechanism. Adsorption processes were less affected by the parameters: pH, NaCl, and water matrixes. The kinetics for adsorbing PRC reached a faster equilibrium than that for TCH. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of SCB-AC (pHeq 7.0 and 25 °C) was 1235 mg/g (for adsorbing TCH) and 646 mg/g (PRC). Pore filling (confirmed by BET analyser) and π-π interaction (confirmed by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy) were dominant adsorption mechanisms. Those mechanisms were physisorption (ΔH° = 13.71 and -21.04 kJ/mol for adsorbing TCH and PRC, respectively). SCB-AC can serve as an outstanding material for removing pharmaceuticals from water.

Abstract
Different coals were used as raw material for the preparation of carbonization precursors and coal-based activated carbons. The physicochemical structure and adsorption performance of the samples were tested. Results show that the carbonization and activation process greatly changed the molecular structure of raw coal, and a large number of organic functional groups disappeared. The carbonization process has enriched the pore structure of coal by thermal ablation, and it has a pore expansion effect on all the pores in coal, while the activation process is more conducive to micropore generation. The calculated mean isosteric heat of adsorption showed that the activated carbon needs to release more heat in the adsorption process as the same equilibrium pressure increased due to the adsorption capacity of the prepared activated carbon being far more than that of the raw coal. Adsorption processes of activated carbons are more sensitive to temperature changes, providing a certain guiding significance for the temperature swing adsorption and pressure swing adsorption.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) based materials are solid carbon enriched materials produced via different thermochemical techniques such as pyrolysis. However, the non-modified/non-activated BC-based materials obtained from the low-temperature pyrolysis of biomass cannot perform well in energy storage applications due to the mismatched physicochemical and electrical properties such as low surface area, poor pore features, and low density and conductivity. Therefore, to improve the surface features and structure of the BC and surface functionalities, surface modifications and activations are introduced to improve its properties to achieve enhanced electrochemical performance. The surface modifications use various activation methods to modify the surface properties of BC to achieve enhanced performance for supercapacitors in energy storage applications. This article provides a detailed review of surface modification methods and the application of modified BC to be used for the synthesis of electrodes for supercapacitors. The effect of those activation methods on physicochemical and electrical properties is critically presented. Finally, the research gap and future prospects are also elucidated.

Abstract
In order to realize the effective regulation of the pore structure of activated carbon and optimize its pore structure properties as electrode material, the effects of activation temperature, activation time and impregnation ratio on the specific surface area, total pore volume and average pore diameter of activated carbon prepared by sargassum are studied by orthogonal experiment. In addition, the electrochemical properties of sargassum-based activated carbon (SAC) and the relationship between the gravimetric capacitance and specific surface area of SAC are also studied. The SACs prepared under all conditions have high specific surface area (≥ 2227 m2 g-1) and developed pore structure, in which the pore diameter of micropores mainly concentrated in 0.4 ~ 0.8 nm, the pore diameter of mesopores mainly concentrated in 3 ~ 4 nm, and the number of micropores is far more than that of mesopores. In the activation process, the impregnation ratio has the greatest effect on the specific surface area of SAC, the activation temperature and impregnation ratio have significant effect on the total pore volume of SAC, and the regulation of the average pore diameter of SAC is mainly realized by adjusting the activation temperature. The SACs exhibit typical electric double layer capacitance performances on supercapacitors, delivering superior gravimetric capacitance of 237.3 F g-1 in 6 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte system at current density of 0.5 A g-1 and excellent cycling stability of capacitance retention of 92% after 10,000 cycles. A good linear relationship between gravimetric capacitance and specific surface area of SAC is observed.

Abstract
Manufacturing of porous carbon with biomass resources has been intensively investigated in recent decades. The diversity of biomass species and great variety of processing methods enable the structural richness of porous carbon as well as their wide applications. In this review, we specifically focused on the structure of biomass-derived porous carbon either inherited from natural biomass or created by post-treatment. The intrinsic structure of plant biomass was briefly introduced and the utilization of the unique structures at different length-scales were discussed. In term of post-treatment, the structural features of activated carbon by traditional physical and chemical activation were summarized and compared in a wide spectrum of biomass species, statistical analysis were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of different activation methods in creating specific pore structures. The similar pore structure of biomass-derived carbon and coal-derived carbon suggested a promising replacement with more sustainable biomass resources in producing porous carbon. In summary, using biomass as porous carbon precursor endows the flexibility of using its naturally patterned micro-structure and the tunability of controlled pore-creation by post treatment.

Quantifying Environmental and Economic Impacts of Highly Porous Activated Carbon from Lignocellulosic Biomass for High-Performance Supercapacitors. ENERGIES 2022.

Abstract
Activated carbons (AC) from lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks are used in a broad range of applications, especially for electrochemical devices such as supercapacitor electrodes. Limited studies of environmental and economic impacts for AC supercapacitor production have been conducted. Thus, this paper evaluated the environmental and economic impacts of AC produced from lignocellulosic biomass for energy-storage purposes. The life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to quantify the potential environmental impacts associated with AC production via the proposed processes including feedstock establishment, harvest, transport, storage, and in-plant production. A techno-economic model was constructed to analyze the economic feasibility of AC production, which included the processes in the proposed technology, as well as the required facility installation and management. A base case, together with two alternative scenarios of KOH-reuse and steam processes for carbon activation, were evaluated for both environmental and economic impacts, while the uncertainty of the net present value (NPV) of the AC production was examined with seven economic indicators. Our results indicated that overall “in-plant production” process presented the highest environmental impacts. Normalized results of the life-cycle impact assessment showed that the AC production had environmental impacts mainly on the carcinogenics, ecotoxicity, and non-carcinogenics categories. We then further focused on life cycle analysis from raw biomass delivery to plant gate, the results showed that “feedstock establishment” had the most significant environmental impact, ranging from 50.3% to 85.2%. For an activated carbon plant producing 3000 kg AC per day in the base case, the capital cost would be USD 6.66 million, and annual operation cost was found to be USD 15.46 million. The required selling price (RSP) of AC was USD 16.79 per kg, with the discounted payback period (DPB) of 9.98 years. Alternative cases of KOH-reuse and steam processes had GHG emissions of 15.4 kg CO2 eq and 10.2 kg CO2 eq for every 1 kg of activated carbon, respectively. Monte Carlo simulation showed 49.96% of the probability for an investment to be profitable in activated carbon production from lignocellulosic biomass for supercapacitor electrodes.

Abstract
This study focuses on the effects of activating agents on the physical and electrochemical properties of activated carbon (AC) electrodes, fabricated from wood dust of Shorea robusta. Three different activating agents namely H3PO4, KOH and Na2CO3 have been used to prepare ACs, which were named as: Sr–H3PO4, Sr–KOH and Sr–Na2CO3. The ACs were characterized by TGA/DSC, XRD, Raman, SEM, FTIR and BET. All the as prepared ACs were found to be amorphous in nature. The oxygen surface functionality was developed at the surface. The surface area of Sr–H3PO4, Sr–KOH and Sr–Na2CO3 were found to be 1269.5 m2/g, 280.6 m2/g and 58.9 m2/g respectively. The activated carbon-electrodes were then fabricated and supercapacitive performances were evaluated by “three electrode system” in aqueous 6M KOH using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).The GCD performed at 1A/g revealed the specific capacitance values were 136.3 F/g, 42.2 F/g and 59.1 F/g for Sr–H3PO4, Sr–KOH and Sr–Na2CO3-electrodes, respectively. Energy density for Sr–H3PO4 electrode was found to be 3.0 Wh/kg at 99.6 W/kg power densities. Moreover, it also displayed imposing cyclic stability of about 96.9 %, 89.5 % and 78.5 % after 1000 cycles of charge/discharge respectively. The overall electrochemical performance of Sr–H3PO4 showed outstanding supercapacitive performances demonstrating the high possibility of this material to be used for the EDLC application in supercapacitive energy storage. The Nyquist plot also showed the lowest internal resistance of about 0.4 Ω for Sr–H3PO4 electrode.

Abstract
Owing to their low cost, good performance, and high lifetime stability, activated carbons (ACs) with a large surface area rank among the most popular materials deployed in commercially available electrochemical double-layer (EDLC) capacitors. Here, we report a simple two-step synthetic procedure for the preparation of activated carbon from natural flax. Such ACs possess a very high specific surface area (1649 m2 g–1) accompanied by a microporous structure with the size of pores below 2 nm. These features are behind the extraordinary electrochemical performance of flax-derived ACs in terms of their high values of specific capacitance (500 F g–1 at a current density of 0.25 A g–1 in the three-electrode setup and 189 F g–1 at a current density of 0.5 A g–1 in two-electrode setup.), high-rate stability, and outstanding lifetime capability (85% retention after 150,000 charging/discharging cycles recorded at the high current density of 5 A g–1). These findings demonstrate that flax-based ACs have more than competitive potential compared to standard and commercially available activated carbons.

Abstract
Biomass-derived carbon materials have been widely researched due to their advantages such as low cost, environmental friendliness, readily available raw materials. Black fungus and Hericium erinaceus contain many kinds of amino acids. In this paper, unique O, N-codoped black fungus-derived activated carbons (FAC X ), and Hericium erinaceus-derived activated carbons (HAC X ) were prepared by KOH chemical activation under different temperatures without adding additional reagents containing nitrogen and oxygen functional groups, respectively. As electrode materials of symmetric supercapacitors, FAC2 and HAC2 calcined at 800 °C exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 209.3 F g-1 and 238.6 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 in the two-electrode configuration with 6.0 M KOH as the electrolyte, respectively. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the as-synthesized FAC X and HAC X contained small amounts of nitrogen and oxygen elements. Moreover, heteroatom-doped FAC2 and HAC2 electrode materials shown excellent rate performance (84.1% and 75.0% capacitance retention at 20 A g-1, respectively). By comparison, the oxygen-rich hierarchical porous carbon (HAC2) shows higher specific capacitance and energy density and longer cycling performance. Nevertheless, carbon-rich hierarchical porous carbon (FAC2) indicates excellent rate performance. Biomass-derived heteroatom self-doped porous carbons are expected to become ideal active materials for high performance supercapacitor.

Abstract
In this review, the efforts done by different research groups to enhance the performance of the electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), regarding the effect of the modification of activated carbon structures on the electrochemical properties, are summarized. Activated carbon materials with various porous textures, surface chemistry, and microstructure have been synthesized using several different techniques by different researchers. Micro-, meso-, and macroporous textures can be obtained through the activation/carbonization process using various activating agents. The surface chemistry of activated carbon materials can be modified via: (i) the carbonization of heteroatom-enriched compounds, (ii) post-treatment of carbon materials with reactive heteroatom sources, and (iii) activated carbon combined both with metal oxide materials dan conducting polymers to obtain composites. Intending to improve the EDLCs performance, the introduction of heteroatoms into an activated carbon matrix and composited activated carbon with either metal oxide materials or conducting polymers introduced a pseudo-capacitance effect, which is an additional contribution to the dominant double-layer capacitance. Such tricks offer high capacitance due to the presence of both electrical double layer charge storage mechanism and faradic charge transfer. The surface modification by attaching suitable heteroatoms such as phosphorus species increases the cell operating voltage, thereby improving the cell performance. To establish a detailed understanding of how one can modify the activated carbon structure regarding its porous textures, the surface chemistry, the wettability, and microstructure enable to enhance the performance of the EDLCs is discussed here in detail. This review discusses the basic key parameters which are considered to evaluate the performance of EDLCs such as cell capacitance, operating voltage, equivalent series resistance, power density, and energy density, and how these are affected by the modification of the activated carbon framework.

Abstract
In this work, African maize cobs (AMC) were used as a rich biomass precursor to synthesize carbon material through a chemical activation process for application in electrochemical energy storage devices. The carbonization and activation were carried out with concentrated Sulphuric acid at three different temperatures of 600, 700 and 800 °C, respectively. The activated carbon exhibited excellent microporous and mesoporous structure with a specific surface area that ranges between 30 and 254 m2·g-1 as measured by BET analysis. The morphology and structure of the produced materials are analyzed through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Boehm titration, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman Spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that a considerable amount of oxygen is present in the materials. The functional groups in the activated carbon enhanced the electrochemical performance and improved the material's double-layer capacitance. The carbonized composite activated at 700 °C exhibited excellent capacitance of 456 F g-1 at a specific current of 0.25 A g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte and showed excellent stability after 10,000 cycles. Besides being a low cost, the produced materials offer good stability and electrochemical properties, making them suitable for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Biobased N-doped hierarchically porous carbon (N-HPC) electrodes were successfully prepared by utilizing marine crustacean derivatives and chitin nanofibers (ChNF), as versatile bio-templates of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) to form ChNF@ZIF-8 nanocomposites, followed by a subsequent carbonization process. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles were in situ synthesized on ChNF surfaces to avoid fragmentation for fabricating hierarchically porous carbon structure (N-HPC), which is efficiently doped with rich nitrogen content that originates in ChNF and ZIF-8. The results show that N-HPC electrodes demonstrate improved electrochemical performance and the constructed symmetric supercapacitor assembled with N-HPC exhibits enhanced capacitive performance of specific capacity (128.5 F·g-1 at 0.2 A·g-1) and excellent electrochemical stability even after 5000 cycles. This facile and effective preparation method of N-HPC electrodes derived from marine crustacean nanomaterials will have great potential in the construction of next-generation electrochemical energy-storage devices with excellent capacitance performance.

Abstract
Carbon-based supercapacitors have aroused ever-increasing attention in the energy storage field due to high conductivity, chemical stability, and large surface area of the investigated carbon active materials. Herein, eucalyptus-derived nitrogen/oxygen doped hierarchical porous carbons (NHPCs) are prepared by the synergistic action of the ZnCl2 activation and the NH4Cl blowing. They feature superiorities such as high specific surface area, rational porosity, and sufficient N/O doping. These excellent physicochemical characteristics endow them excellent electrochemical performances in supercapacitors: 359 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 in a three-electrode system and 234 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 in a two-electrode system, and a high energy density of 48 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 750 W kg−1 accompanied by high durability of 92% capacitance retention through 10,000 cycles test at a high current density of 10 A g−1 in an organic electrolyte. This low-cost and facile strategy provides a novel route to transform biomass into high value-added electrode materials in energy storage fields.

Abstract
Porous-activated carbon (PAC) materials have been playing a vital role in meeting the challenges of the ever-increasing demand for alternative clean and sustainable energy technologies. In the present scenario, a facile approach is suggested to produce hierarchical PAC at different activation temperatures in the range of 600 to 900 °C by using cow dung (CD) waste as a precursor, and H3PO4 is adopted as the nonconventional activating agent to obtain large surface area values. The as-prepared cow dung-based PAC (CDPAC) is graphitic in nature with mixed micro- and mesoporous textures. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy depicts the morphology of CDPAC as nanoporous structures with a uniform arrangement. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals spherical carbon dense nanoparticles with dense tiny spherical carbon particles. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms show a very high specific surface area of 2457 m2/g for the CDPAC 9 (CD 9) sample with a large pore volume of 1.965 cm3/g. Electrochemical measurements of the CD 9 sample show a good specific capacitance (C s) of 347 F/g at a lower scan rate (5 mV/s) with improved cyclic stability, which is run up to 5000 cycles at a low current density (0.5 A/g). Hence, we choose an activated carbon prepared at 900 °C to fabricate the modified electrode material. In this regard, a flexible type symmetric supercapacitor device was fabricated, and the electrochemical test results show a supercapacitance value (C s) of 208 F/g.

Abstract
In this study, mature seeds of Zea mays (Malka 16) were irrigated with untreated and UASB-treated wastewater with combination of 50% textile and 50% sewage at hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of 0, 5, 10, and 15 h. Four other treatments diluted with distilled water (DW) were also evaluated. Eight-week analysis of irrigation revealed very small differences in the results of plant biomass and growth parameters of control and those irrigated with 15 h (HRT) treatments. The values of both types of water were observed as chlorophyll a and b contents, 5.9, 3.4, vs 5.5, 3.1 mg g-1, total chlorophyll 9.4 vs 8.8 mg g-1, carotenoids 9.5 vs 8.7 mg g-1, spad values 61.4 vs 56.3, net photosynthetic rate (A) 15.6 vs 14.5 μmol m-2 S-1, transpiration rate (E) 3.98 vs 3.8 μmol m-2 S-1, stomatal conductance 5.9 vs 5.8 μmol m-2 S-1, water use efficiency 10.3 vs 9.7 mmol Cmm-1 H2O, electrolyte leakage 115 vs 98% and total soluble proteins 385 vs 354 in leaves and 260 vs 231 g-1 FW in roots. While this stress enhanced H2O2 92 vs 115 and 195 vs 224 Units g-1, MDA 6.8 vs 9.1 and 5.9 vs 8.3 Units g-1, activities of enzymatic antioxidants SOD 25 vs 63 and 54 vs 63 Units g-1, POD 1170 vs 1310 and 570 vs 650 Units g-1, CAT 570 vs 820 and 880 vs 1040 Units g-1, and APX 235 vs 278 and 134 vs 187 Units g-1 in leaves and roots, respectively. Heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn) in such plants were mostly within or about permissible limits of NEQS. The results obtained were more close to that of control. This practice may lead to clean environment and its reuse shall also reduce the stress on fresh water. Early researches transpire a little work done on the reuse of UASB-treated textile wastewater with co substrate, for irrigation purpose.

Abstract
Chelator-assisted phytoremediation is an economical, sustainable, and ecologically friendly method of extracting heavy metals and metalloids from the soil. Organic chelators are thought to enhance metal availability and mobility in contaminated media, thereby improving phytoextraction. The aim of the present study was to examine whether exogenous application of glutamic acid (GA) could improve chromium (Cr) phytoextraction by sunflower plants (Helianthus annuus L.). Seeds were planted in plastic pots filled with 5 kg of local agricultural soil spiked with increasing concentrations of Cr (1, 2, and 5 mg kg-1). Glutamic acid (5 mM) was applied to soil in solution according to a completely randomized experimental design, and the sunflower plants were harvested after 8 weeks. The results indicated that increasing Cr-induced stress significantly inhibited plant growth, leading to reduced biomass, photosynthetic pigment content, activities of antioxidant enzymes, and leaf area of the sunflower plants. However, exogenous addition of GA significantly reduced the Cr-associated toxic effects while also increasing the accumulation of Cr in the plants. Moreover, increasing concentrations of Cr in the soil increased the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsible for the altered antioxidant enzyme activities. The results revealed that GA application to the topsoil enhanced the Cr concentration and accumulation in the root, stem, and leaves by up to 254, 225, 355, and 47, 59, 150% respectively. Further the GA addition reduced the Cr-induced toxicity in plants and might be helpful for enhancing Cr phytoextraction by sunflower plants.

Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that the activation method and component of the precursor are of great importance for making porous carbon. In this study, four plant materials belong to one genus were selected as optimized plant material to produce hierarchical porous carbon for supercapacitors, the influence of initial structure was discussed. All the produced porous carbons have large specific surface area (higher than 2342 m2 g−1), high microporosity (more than 57%), and high pore volume (larger than 1.32 cm3 g−1). All the samples show characteristic of electrical double layer capacitance, and the onion-based porous carbon obtain highest specific capacitance of 568 F g−1 at the current density of 0.1 A g−1. With the current density rising from 1 A g−1 to 50 A g−1, the specific capacitance only decreases for 20%. After 5000 cycles, all the samples show relatively high capacitance retention (up to 97%). Two-step acid pickling has washed most impurities and directly lead to small equivalent series resistance (lower than 0.2 Ω). The samples show high power density and energy density (71 W h kg−1@180 W kg−1, 210 kW kg−1@33 W h kg−1). This study open an avenue to create high-performance hierarchical porous carbon based on plant architecture.

Abstract
With multiple properties, green carbon nanomaterials with high specific surface area have become extensively attractive as energy storage devices with environmental-friendly features. The primary synthesis attempts were based on alkalis activation, which, however, faced the dilemma of low utilization rate of carbon sources. Herein, the green carbon with ultrahigh surface area (up to 3560 m2/g) was prepared by the KOH-assisted biomass carbonization. Moreover, the redundant K2O steam and CxHy flow were further utilized; as a result, the carbon materials with a wide range of morphological diversity were collected on the Cu foam. Accordingly, we carried out density functional theory simulations to reveal the mechanism of O-adatom-promoted CH4 dissociation over the Cu surface for carbon formation. The electrodes of electrochemical capacitor fabricated by carbon synthesis possess a 170% higher specific capacitance compared with commercial carbon electrodes. As such, this strategy might be promising in developing hierarchical carbons along with sufficient carbon sources for broadening their potential applications.
