Heliyon 2024; 10:e32915. [PMID: 38994073 PMCID: PMC11237968 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis of graphene-like carbon derived from onion husk, with potential application as an electrode material in energy storage devices. Graphene-like carbon (GLC) was synthesized from onion husk (OH) by preliminary carbonization at 550 °C, followed by thermochemical activation at various temperatures to determine the optimal activation parameters. The surface morphology of graphene-like carbon from onion husk (GLC-OH) samples after carbonization shows distinct thermal exfoliation of the material. This layering upon activation in KOH promotes the formation of highly porous graphene-like carbon flakes. According to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, the specific surface area at 850 °C was 1924 m2/g. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy results reveal the emergence of few-layer graphene with a significant amount of structural defects at 850 °C. As the temperature increases, the formation shifts towards multilayer graphene, which leads to a decrease in the specific surface area of the carbon material. The electrochemical characterization of the assembled GLC-OH-based supercapacitor synthesized at 850 °C revealed a markedly higher specific capacitance value of 131 F/g, along with a Coulombic efficiency of 98 % at a gravimetric current density of 1 A/g. Additionally, it exhibited a low charge transfer resistance (RCT) of approximately 1.4 Ω. Our study investigates the influence of structural changes on the electrochemical performance of biomass-derived activated carbon, highlighting the potential of graphene-like carbon from onion husk as a promising and low-cost material for future energy storage devices.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 357:141965.

Abstract
In this work, we report a supercapacitor electrode material based on nano-flower like cobalt molybdate decorated on porous activated carbon derived from waste onion peels (β-CoMoO4-POAC). The obtained POAC exhibits highly porous structure and after the hydrothermal treatment with salts of cobalt and molybdenum, we observed a uniform distribution of β-cobalt molybdate (β-CoMoO4) as nano-flowers on the surface of POAC. The chemical composition, morphology and porosity of the materials were thoroughly analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area measurement. Due to its flower like and highly porous morphology, β-CoMoO4@POAC exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1110.72 F/g at a current density of 1 mA/cm2 with superior cyclic retention of 96.03% after 2000 cycles. The best electrochemical performance exhibited by β-CoMoO4@POAC is mainly due to its high surface area and porous nature of the material which assists in active transport of ions. This study reveals the exceptional electrochemical properties of β-CoMoO4@POAC which could be considered as a potential material for advanced energy storage devices.

Systematic designs of single metal compounds synthesized using ammonia fluoride-based complex as structure directing agents for energy storage. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:294-304.

Abstract
Tailoring morphology and composition of metal organic frameworks (MOF) can improve energy storage by establishing high surface area, large porosity and multiple redox states. Structure directing agents (SDA) is functional of designing surface properties of electroactive materials. Ammonium fluoride has functional abilities for designing MOF derivatives with excellent energy storage abilities. Systematic design of MOF derivatives using ammonia fluoride-based complex as SDA can essentially create efficient electroactive materials. Metal species can also play significant roles on redox reactions, which are the main energy storage mechanism for battery-type electrodes. In this work, 2-methylimidazole, two novel SDAs of NH4BF4 and NH4HF2, and six metal species of Al, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn are coupled to synthesize MOF derivatives for energy storage. Metal species-dependent compositions including hydroxides, oxides, and hydroxide nitrates are observed. The nickel-based derivative (Ni-HBF) shows the highest specific capacitance (CF) of 698.0F/g at 20 mV/s, due to multiple redox states and advanced flower-like surface properties. The diffusion and capacitive-control contributions of MOF derivatives are also analyzed. The battery supercapacitor hybrid with Ni-HBF electrode shows a maximum energy density of 27.9 Wh/kg at 325 W/kg. The CF retention of 170.9% and Coulombic efficiency of 93.2% are achieved after 10,000 cycles.

Abstract
Biomass-based porous carbon (BPC) with renewability and flexible nano/microstructure tunability has attracted increasing attention as efficient and cheap electrode materials for supercapacitors. To meet commercial needs, high mass-loading electrodes with high areal capacitance are preferred when designing supercapacitors. The increased mass percentage of active materials can effectively improve the energy density of supercapacitors. However, as the thickness of the electrode increases, it will face the following challenges including severely blocked ion transport channels, poor charging dynamics, poor electrode structural stability, and complex preparation processes. A bridge between theoretical research and practical applications of BPC electrodes for supercapacitors needs to be established. In this review, the advances of high mass-loading BPC electrodes for supercapacitors are summarized based on different biomass precursors. The key performance evaluation parameters of the high mass-loading electrodes are analyzed, and the performance influencing factors are systematically discussed, including specific surface area, pore structure, electrical conductivity, and surface functional groups. Subsequently, the promising optimization strategies for high mass-loading electrodes are summarized, including the structure regulation of electrode materials and the optimization of other supercapacitor components. Finally, the major challenges and opportunities of high mass-loading BPC electrodes in the future are discussed and outlined.

Abstract
In the present scenario of research, the recycling of inexpensive widely available agricultural waste/biowaste to activate carbon (AC) and procurement of value-added product has significant impact on energy storage systems, particularly in Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). Herein, we report the production of KOH activated carbons from different biomass sources such as Musa Acuminata stem (MAC), Pongamia pinnata seed oil extract cake (PPC), Cajanus Cajan stem (CCC) and Asclepias syriaca floss (ASC) for the said purpose. Initially, the biomass materials were pyrolyzed at 550 °C and then activated with KOH at 800 °C. All the carbon materials were characterized for their physico-chemical properties by various analytical techniques and compared. Further, these materials were studied for their electrochemical performance using suitable electro-analytical techniques in 1 M KOH solution. ACs (Activated carbons) derived from MAC, PPC, CCC & ASC were estimated in three electrode system and were found to exhibit a specific capacitance (Cs) of 358, 343, 355 & 540 F/g at a scan rate of 2 mV/s and 102, 188, 253 & 256 F/g at a current density of 2.5 A/g respectively. The main novel objective of this work is to correlate the morphological and surface properties of these ACs obtained from different biomass sources with electrochemical performance. A symmetric coin cell constructed with ASC material exhibited Cs of 67 F/g at a current density of 2.5 A/g with maximum energy & power densities (ED & PD) of 37.2 W h/kg and 19.9 kW/kg respectively. Further the cell showed 25,000 cycles stability with 86% Cs retention and 100% coulombic efficiency.

Abstract
Coffee industry produces more than eight million tons of waste coffee grounds (WCG) annually. These WCG contain caffeine, tannins, and polyphenols and can be of great environmental concern if not properly disposed of. On the other hand, components of WCG are mainly macromolecular cellulose and lignocellulose, which can be utilized as cheap carbon precursors. Accordingly, various forms of carbon materials have been reportedly synthesized from WCG, including activated carbon, mesoporous carbon, carbon nanosheets, carbon nanotubes, graphene sheet fibers (i.e., graphenated carbon nanotubes), and particle-like graphene. Upcycling of various biomass and/or waste into value-added functional materials is of growing significance to offer more sustainable solutions and enable circular economy. In this context, this review offers timely insight on the recent advances of WCG derived carbon as value-added electrode materials. As electrodes, they have shown to possess excellent electrochemical properties and found applications in capacitor/supercapacitor, batteries, electrochemical sensors, owing to their low cost, high electrical conductivity, polarization, and chemical stability. Collectively, these efforts could represent an environmentally friendly and circular economy approach, which could not only help solve the food waste issue, but also generate high performance carbon-based materials for many electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Widespread use of antibiotics for treating human and animal ailments has increased their discharge in the environment through excreta. Moreover, unscientific disposal of unused antibiotics has further increased their presence in the environmental matrices. Thus, occurrence of used and/or discarded antibiotics in water resources is becoming a growing concern across the globe. Antibiotics and their residues in the aquatic environment are emerging contaminants which pose a serious threat to the aquatic biota as well as human beings by enhancing antibiotic resistance. Various methods are being adopted for the removal of these contaminants. Adsorption over activated carbon is one such promising method which is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and efficient. However, there are various factors which affect the overall process efficiency, such as, properties of activated carbon/antibiotics/reaction medium etc. In this article, emphasis has been laid down on evaluating these factors, so that the experimental procedures may be optimized to obtain the highest possible removal efficiency for antibiotics in the aqueous media.

Abstract
Managing indoor ozone levels is important because ozone is a hazardous pollutant that has adverse effects on human health. Coffee is a popular daily beverage, and thus, coffee beans and spent coffee grounds are common in many places such as offices, homes, aircraft, cafeterias, and such. The most common material used to remove ozone is activated carbon which can be made from coffee beans or spent coffee grounds with proper activation processes. This paper presents a novel idea: to remove ozone at the level of an indoor environment using unactivated coffee products. This paper examines the ozone removal efficiency and the ozone deposition velocity at 130 ppb ozone for two types of coffee: solid coffee (powder) and liquid coffee (beverage). The activated carbon, the deionized water, and the seawater are also included for comparison and validation purposes. The tests show that the fine coffee powder has a removal efficiency of 58.5% and a deposition velocity of 0.62 cm/s. The liquid coffee has a removal efficiency of 34.4% and a deposition velocity of 0.23 cm/s. The chemical inspections indicate that the oxidation reactions with the carbohydrates in solid coffee and the metal/mineral elements in liquid coffee are responsible for ozone removal. These results have confirmed that ozone removal via coffee is effective, controlling indoor air quality by coffee products is thus becoming possible.

Abstract
To meet the crucial demand for high-performance supercapacitors, much effort has been devoted to exploring electrode materials with nanostructures and electroactive chemical compositions. Herein, iron carbide nanoparticles are encapsulated into carbon nanofibers (Fe3C@CNF-650) through electrospinning and annealing methods. Nickel-cobalt sulfide nanoparticles are hydrothermally grown on electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNF@NiCoS-650). The Faradaic electrochemical reactions of transition metal compounds improve the specific capacitance of the developed electrode. Meanwhile, the electrically conductive framework of carbon nanofibers facilitates Faradic charge transport. In detail, the Fe3C@CNF-650 anode and CNF@NiCoS-650 cathode achieve specific capacitances of 1551 and 205 F g-1, respectively, at a current density of 1 A g-1. A hybrid supercapacitor that is fabricated from the Fe3C@CNF-650 anode and CNF@NiCoS-650 cathode delivers an energy density of 43.2 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 800 W kg-1. The designed nanostructures are promising for practical supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Biowaste coffee grounds have been recognized as an effective and relatively low-cost adsorbent to complement conventional treatment techniques for removing emerging contaminants (ECs) from the waste stream through modification to useful biochar. The purpose of this study was to make biochar from biowaste coffee grounds through the pyrolysis process and investigate its potential capacity for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water. The biochar was prepared by pyrolysis process under argon gas conditions, and its adsorption capacity for pharmaceuticals was evaluated. The as-prepared biochar shows a surface area of 232 m2 g−1. The adsorption of salicylic acid, diclofenac, and caffeine onto the biochar show adsorption capacities of 40.47 mg g−1, 38.52 mg g−1, and 75.46 mg g−1, respectively. The morphology, functional groups, crystallinity, and specific surface area were determined by SEM, FTIR, XRD, and BET techniques, respectively. Kinetic results reveal that the experimental data fit the pseudo-second-order model and the Temkin isotherm model. In conclusion, these results illustrate the potential of biochar produced from biowaste coffee grounds could play an important role in environmental pollution mitigation by enhancing removal of pharmaceuticals from conventional wastewater treatment effluent, thereby minimizing their potential risks in the environment.

Abstract
The recyclable utilization of waste biomass is increasingly important for the development of a sustainable society. Here, the sawdust-derived activated carbon (SD-AC) has been prepared via a convenient H3PO4-based activation method and further trialed as an electrode for use as a high-performance symmetric supercapacitor. The as-prepared SD-AC possesses a hierarchically porous structure with micropores (0.55 nm) and mesopores (2.58 nm), accounting for its high specific surface area of 621 m2 g−1, with a pore volume of 0.35 cm3 g−1. Such a hierarchically porous structure can offer a favorable pathway for fast ion penetration and transportation, enhancing its electrochemical performance. As a result, the SD-AC electrode exhibits a maximum specific capacitance of up to 244.1 F g−1 at 1.0 A g−1, a high rate capability (129.06 F g−1 at 20 A g−1), and an excellent cycling performance, with 87% retention over 10,000 cycles at 10 A g−1. Of particular note is that the SD-AC-based symmetric supercapacitor achieves a maximum energy density of 19.9 Wh kg−1 at the power density of 650 W kg−1, with a long-term cycle lifespan. This work showcases the recyclable utilization of waste biomass for the preparation of high-value activated carbon for efficient energy storage.

Abstract
Massive quantities of spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are generated by users around the world. Different processes have been proposed for SCG valorization, including pyrolytic processes to achieve carbonaceous materials. Here, we report the preparation of activated carbons through pyrolytic processes carried out under different experimental conditions and in the presence of various porosity activators. Textural and chemical characterization of the obtained carbons have been achieved through Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), ESEM, 13C solid state NMR, XPS, XRD, thermogravimetric and spectroscopic determinations. The aim of the paper is to relate these data to the preparation method, evaluating the correlation between the spectroscopic data and the physical and textural properties, also in comparison with the corresponding data obtained for three commercial activated carbons used in industrial adsorption processes. Some correlations have been observed between the Raman and XPS data.

Abstract
We present a simple, low-cost method for producing activated-carbon materials from sugarcane tips (ST) via two-step pre-carbonization and KOH activation treatment. After optimizing the amount of KOH, the resulting ST-derived activated carbon prepared with a KOH to PC-ST mass ratio of 2 (ACST-2) contained 17.04 wt% oxygen and had a large surface area of 1206.85 m2 g-1, which could be attributed to the large number of micropores in ACST-2. In a three-electrode system, the ACST-2 electrode exhibited a high specific capacitance of 259 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and good rate capability with 82.66% retention from 0.5 to 10 A g-1. In addition, it displayed a high capacitance retention of 89.6% after 5000 cycles at a current density of 3 A g-1, demonstrating excellent cycling stability. Furthermore, the ACST-2//ACST-2 symmetric supercapacitor could realize a high specific energy density of 7.93 W h kg-1 at a specific power density of 100 W kg-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte. These results demonstrate that sugarcane tips, which are inexpensive and easily accessible agricultural waste, can be used to create a novel biomass precursor for the production of low-cost activated carbon materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
3D graphene-based materials are promising adsorbents for environmental applications. Furthermore, increasing attention has been paid to the improvement of 3D graphene adsorbents for removing pollutants. In this article, the progress in the modification of 3D graphene materials and their performance for removing pollutants were reviewed. The modification strategies, which were classified as (1) the activation with CO2 (steam and other oxidants) and (2) the surface functionalization with polymers (metals, and metal oxides), were evaluated. The performances of modified 3D graphene materials were assessed for the removal of waste gases (such as CO2), refractory organics, and heavy metals. The challenges and future research directions were discussed for the environmental applications of 3D graphene materials.

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of improving electrochemical energy storage with electrode materials obtained from common raw ingredients in a facile synthesis. In this study, we present a simple, one-pot route of synthesizing microporous carbon via a very fast reaction of sucrose and graphene (carbon source), chitosan (carbon and nitrogen source), and H3PO4. Porous carbons were successfully produced during high temperature carbonization, using nitrogen as a shielding gas. Samples were characterized using X-ray powder diffractometry, elemental analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The developed carbon material possessed a high surface area, up to 1313 m2 g-1, with no chemical or physical activators used in the process. The structural parameters of the microporous carbons varied depending on the ratio of reagents and mass composition. Samples were prepared both with and without chitosan. The present synthesis route has the advantages of being a single-step approach and only involving low-cost and environmentally friendly sources of carbon. More importantly, microporous carbon was prepared without any activators and potentially offers great application in supercapacitors. Cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge tests show that sucrose-based porous carbons show excellent electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of up to 143 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 in a 6 M KOH electrolyte.

Abstract
The electrochemical energy storage performance of activated carbons (ACs) obtained from coffee-derived biowastes was assessed. ACs were obtained from spent coffee ground second waste, after polyphenol extraction, by means of a hydrothermal process followed by physical or chemical activation. The resulting materials exhibited microporous structures with a total specific area between 585 and 2330 m2·g-1. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a highly porous microstructure in the case of the chemically activated carbons, while physical activation led to a cracked micro-sized morphology. The electrochemical properties of the materials for supercapacitor applications were investigated in 1 M Na2SO4. After chemical activation, the coffee-derived material displayed a capacitance of 84 F·g-1 at 1 A·g-1 in a 1.9 V voltage window, with 70% capacitance retention at 10 A·g-1 and 85% retention after 5000 cycles of continuous charge-discharge. This work demonstrates how coffee secondary biowaste can be conveniently activated to perform as electrochemical energy storage material, contributing to its revalorization and reinsertion in a circular economy.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) is an important material in various fields owing to its low cost, well-developed porosity, and favorable chemical stability. Key factors for the optimal synthesis of AC are the carbon precursors, activation pathways, activating agents, and design of the procedure parameters. So far, no case studies have reviewed the activating agents used during the chemical activation process. Accordingly, the present review provides a summary of recent research, highlighting the development of activating agents during the process of AC. Detailed lists of pore-forming mechanisms by various activating agents, including alkaline, acidic, neutral, and self-activating agents, have been systematically summarized. Furthermore, the effects of activating agents on the experimental procedures have also been established. Finally, a comprehensive discussion about the influences of activating agents on the physical and chemical properties of the resultant AC is included. The objective of this study is to reveal and distinguish the individual roles of different activating agents during AC synthesis.
