Heteroatom-doped and graphitization-enhanced lignin-derived hierarchically porous carbon via facile assembly of lignin-Fe coordination for high-voltage symmetric supercapacitors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:374-384. [PMID: 38181701 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.12.162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Lignin-derived carbon materials are widely used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. However, the electrochemical performance of these materials is limited by the surface chemistry and pore structure characteristics. Herein, a novel and sustainable strategy was proposed to prepare heteroatom-doped lignin-derived carbon material (Fe-NLC) with well-developed pore size distributions and enhanced graphitization structure via a facile lignin-Fe coordination method followed by carbonization. During carbonization, Fe3+ in lignin-metal complexes evolve into nanoparticles, which act as templates to introduce porous structures in carbon materials. Also, the lignin-Fe coordination structure endows the material with a higher graphitization during carbonization, thereby improving the structural properties of the carbon materials. Due to the removal of Fe3O4 template, the obtained Fe-NLC possessed reasonable pore distribution and nitrigen/oxygen (N/O) functional groups, which can improve the wettability of materials and introduce pseudocapacitance. Accordingly, Fe-NLC possesses a notable specific capacitance of 264 F/g at 0.5 A/g. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor Fe-NLC//Fe-NLC with a high voltage window (1.8 V) was constructed. The symmetric supercapacitor exhibits a maximum energy density of 15.97 Wh/kg at 450 W/kg, demonstrating well application prospects. This paper proposes a novel approach for preparing carbon materials via lignin-metal coordination to provide an alternative way to explore sustainable and low-cost energy storage materials.

Abstract
The development of carbonaceous materials such as biochar has triggered a hot spot in materials application. Carbon material derived from biomass could be a vital platform for energy storage and conversion. Biochar-based materials deliver a novel approach to deal with the current energy-related challenges. To design and utilize the maximum potential of biochar for environmentally sustainable applications, it is crucial to understand the recent progress and advancement in molecular structures of biochar to discover a new possible field to simplify structural application networks. However, most of the studies demonstrated the application of biochar in the form of soil enhancers and bio-adsorbents, reducing soil emissions of greenhouse gases and as fertilizers. The present review on biochar highlighted the application of biochar-based materials in various energy storage and conversion sectors, comprising different types of conversion technologies, biochar formation mechanisms, modification techniques on biochar surface chemistry and its functionality, catalysts, biochar application in energy storage gadgets such as supercapacitors and nanotubes, bio-based composite materials and inorganic based composites materials. Finally, this review addressed some vital outlooks on the prospect of the functionalization and best utilization of biochar-supported materials in numerous energy storage and conversion fields. After reviewing the literature, it was directed that advanced and in-depth research is essential for structural analysis and separation, considering the macroscopic and microscopic evidence of the formed structural design of biochar for specific applications.

Abstract
Biodiesel production from non-edible oils utilizing a highly efficient eco-friendly catalyst is a crucial necessity for replacing fossil fuels. In the present work, biochar has been applied for both energy and environmental purposes. The biochar was made by slow pyrolysis from a variety of biomass, primarily cassava peel, irul wood sawdust, and coconut shell. All biochars were used as adsorbents to remove an anionic dye (methyl orange) by conducting batch adsorption studies. The biochar made from cassava peels showed the highest dye adsorption, and it was characterized using elements analysis (CHNS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area analyzer (BET), total acid density, and sulfonic acid group density to successfully confirm the presence of weak (-OH) and strong (-COOH, -SO3H) acidic groups. Furthermore, for microwave-assisted biodiesel production from Millettia pinnata seed oil, the dye adsorbed biochar made from cassava peel was utilized as a Brønsted acid catalyst. The catalyst having a surface area of 4.89 m2/g, an average pore width of 108.77 nm, a total acid density of 3.2 mmol/g, and a sulfonic acid group density of 1.9 mmol/g exhibits distinctive mesoporous properties that contribute to a biodiesel yield of 91.25%. By utilizing the catalyst for three more cycles and getting a yield of more than 75%, the reusability of the catalyst was investigated.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) has been recognized as an effective adsorbent to remove trace elements (TEs) from water. However, low surface functionality and small pore size can limit the adsorption ability of pristine biochar. These limitations can be addressed by using functionalized biochars which are developed by physical, chemical, or biological activation of biochar to improve their physico-chemical properties and adsorption efficiency. Despite the large amount of research concerning functionalized biochars in recent decades, to our knowledge, no comprehensive review of this topic has been published. This review focuses solely on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of functionalized/engineered biochars for removing TEs from water. Firstly, we evaluate the synthesis of functionalized biochars by physical, chemical, and biological strategies that yield the desired properties in the final product. The following section describes the characterization of functionalized biochars using various techniques (SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, XANES/NEXAFS, XPS, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy). Afterward, the role of functionalized biochars in the adsorption of different TEs from water/wastewater is critically evaluated with an emphasis on the factors affecting sorption efficiency, sorption mechanisms, fate of sorbed TEs from contaminated environments and associated challenges. Finally, we specifically scrutinized the future recommendations and research directions for the application of functionalized biochar. This review serves as a comprehensive resource for the use of functionalized biochar as an emerging environmental material capable of removing TEs from contaminated water/wastewater.

Abstract
The material for managing and monitoring waste made from the waste itself is an excellent example of cyclic utilization, which could reduce issues and be more sustainable. A three-dimensional porous uranyl phosphonate MOF (UPF-105) was synthesized via a hydrothermal method. UPF-105 is stable in aqueous solution with pH in the range of 1-11 and maintains crystallinity below 215 °C. The uncoordinated phosphonate groups in the channels act as functional anchors to selectively capture uranyl ions, with a maximum uranium adsorption capacity of 170.23 mg g-1. The fluorescence of UPF-105 makes it a good candidate for a uranyl ion sensor in uranium-contaminated solutions with concentrations in the range of 5-90 ppm.

Abstract
Major agricultural solid waste, rice husk (RH)-based mesoporous materials were prepared by potassium hydroxide (KOH) treatment of RH and RH hydrochar (RHH) produced at 180 °C with 20 min reaction time. In this study, RH was treated with three different methods: RH activation by KOH (KOH-RH), RH activation by KOH-aqueous silver (Ag)-shell nanoparticle (AgNP) incorporation followed calcination at 550 °C for 2 h (AgNP-KOH-RH) and hydrothermally carbonized RH activation by KOH (KOH-RHH). The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of KOH activation with different synthesis approaches and compare the characterization results of RH based porous material to identify the potential adsorbent application for wastewater treatment. Therefore, after activation in different methods, all interactive properties such as elemental, chemical, structural, morphological, and thermal analyses were investigated comprehensively for all samples. The crystallinity peak intensity around 22°λ at the angle of diffraction of 2θ confirmed the presence of silica, higher stability of the material, and removal of organic components during the KOH activation. AgNP-KOH-RH and KOH-RHH presented high porosity on the outer surface. The presence of negligible volatile matter in KOH-RHH by TGA demonstrated the decomposition of organic compound. Very high ratio of aromatic carbon and lignin content by FTIR and XPS analysis in both AgNP-KOH-RH and KOH-RHH showed these two samples have improved stability. Very high negative surface charge (zeta potential) in AgNP-KOH-RH (-43.9 mV) and KOH-RHH (-43.1 mV) indicated the enhanced water holding capacity. Surface area for all experimented porous materials has been enhanced after KOH activation, where KOH-RHH demonstrated the maximum surface area value, 27.87 m2/g. However, AgNP-KOH-RH presented maximum pore diameter, 18.16 nm, and pore volume, 0.12 cm3/g. Hence, it can be concluded that both KOH-RHH and AgNP-KOH-RH have the potential to be implemented as wastewater adsorbents.

Abstract
Formic acid (FA) is found to be a potential candidate for the storage of hydrogen. For dehydrogenation of FA, the supports of our catalysts were acquired by conducting ZnCl2 treatment and carbonation for biomass waste. The texture and surface properties significantly affected the size and dispersion of Pd and its interaction with the support so as to cause the superior catalytic performance of catalysts. Microporous carbon obtained by carbonization of ZnCl2 activated peanut shells (CPS-ZnCl2) possessing surface areas of 629 m2·g−1 and a micropore rate of 73.5%. For ZnCl2 activated melon seed (CMS-ZnCl2), the surface area and micropore rate increased to 1081 m2·g−1 and 80.0%, respectively. In addition, the introduction of ZnCl2 also caused the increase in surface O content and reduced the acidity of the catalyst. The results represented that CMS-ZnCl2 with uniform honeycomb morphology displayed the best properties, and the as-prepared Pd/CMS-ZnCl2 catalyst afforded 100% hydrogen selectivity as well as excellent catalytic activity with an initial high turnover number (TON) value of 28.3 at 30 °C and 100.1 at 60 °C.

Abstract
Due to its environment-friendly and replenishable characteristics, biodiesel has the potential to substitute fossil fuels as an alternative source of energy. Although biodiesel has many benefits to offer, manufacturing biodiesel on an industrial scale is uneconomical as a high cost of feedstock is required. A novel sulfonated and magnetic catalyst synthesised from a palm kernel shell (PMB-SO3H) was first introduced in this study for methyl ester or biodiesel production to reduce capital costs. The wasted palm kernel shell (PKS) biochar impregnated with ferrite Fe3O4 was synthesised with concentrated sulphuric acid through the sulfonation process. The SEM, EDX, FTIR, VSM and TGA characterization of the catalysts were presented. Then, the optimisation of biodiesel synthesis was catalysed by PMB-SO3H via the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). It was found that the maximum biodiesel yield of 90.2% was achieved under these optimum operating conditions: 65 °C, 102 min, methanol to oil ratio of 13:1 and the catalyst loading of 3.66 wt%. Overall, PMB-SO3H demonstrated acceptable catalysing capability on its first cycle, which subsequently showed a reduction of the reusability performance after 4 cycles. An important practical implication is that PMB-SO3H can be established as a promising heterogeneous catalyst by incorporating an iron layer which can substantially improve the catalyst separation performance in biodiesel production.

Abstract
The value-added utilization of waste resources to synthesize functional materials is important to achieve the environmentally sustainable development. In this work, novel micro-nano FeOx- and MnOx-modified bone biochars derived from waste bone meal were obtained at 300 °C, 450 °C and 600 °C, and applied to remove Cd(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The results showed that the pyrolysis temperature greatly influenced the specific surface area (SSA), micropore creation, functional groups and heavy metal sorption capacities of FO-BCs and MO-BCs. The effects of solution pH, ionic strength, humic acid (HA), kinetics and thermodynamics on heavy metals adsorption were investigated. Langmuir and pseudo-second order kinetics models fit the adsorption data well, and the FO-BC-450 and MO-BC-600 displayed the highest sorption capacity for Cd(II) (151.3 mg/g and 163.4 mg/g), Cu(II) (219.8 mg/g and 259.0 mg/g) and Pb(II) (271.9 mg/g and 407.2 mg/g), respectively. Due to the dissolved partial hydroxyapatite (HAP), carbonate-bearing hydroxyapatite (CHAP) and the catalysis of Fe(NO3)3, the FO-BCs with higher SSA than the MO-BCs, whereas the sorption capacity displayed an opposite trend. The chemical complex, cation-π bonds, ion exchange and coprecipitation were the dominant mechanisms for metals adsorption. Overall, waste bone resource co-pyrolysis with Fe(NO3)3/KMnO4 impregnation is a promising and high-efficient adsorbents for the remediation of heavy metals-contaminated waters.

Abstract
A novel and simple method was described for preparation of carbonaceous adsorbent (CA) from corncob under phosphoric acid conditions. The method succeeded to introduce oxygen-containing groups onto the product surface through hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) at low temperature of 160 °C. Adsorption of methylene blue (MB) was studied systematically through the effect of pH, contact time and initial dye concentrations. The MB adsorption kinetics and isotherms experiments showed that Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model could better describe the adsorption behavior, with a maximum adsorption capacity of MB was 140.25 mg/g. The high adsorption capacity could be ascribed to the presence of surface oxygen-containing functional groups and pore channels. In conclusion, it could be a potential adsorbent in the removal of methylene blue from wastewater.

Abstract
The chitosan-stabilized ferrous sulfide nanoparticles were loaded on biochar to prepare a composite material FeS-CS-BC for effective removal of hexavalent chromium in water. BC and FeS-CS-BC were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Batch experiments were employed to evaluate the Cr(VI) removal performance. The experimental results showed that the removal rate of Cr(VI) by FeS-CS-BC(FeS:CS:BC = 2:2:1) reached 98.34%, which was significantly higher than that of BC (44.58%) and FeS (79.91%). In the pH range of 2-10, the removal of Cr(VI) by FeS-CS-BC was almost independent of pH. The limitation of coexisting anions (Cl-、SO42-、NO3-) on Cr(VI) removal was not too obvious. The removal of Cr(VI) by FeS-CS-BC was fitted with the pseudo-second-order dynamics, which was a hybrid chemical-adsorption reaction. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis result showed that Cr(VI) was reduced, and the reduced Cr(VI) was fixed on the surface of the material in the form of Cr(VI)-Fe(III).

Abstract
The development of solid acid catalysts, especially based on metal oxides and different magnetic nanoparticles, gained much awareness recently as a result of the development of different nano-based materials. Solid acid catalysts based on metal oxides are promising for the (trans)esterification reactions of different oils and waste materials for biodiesel production. This review gives a brief overview of recent developments in various solid acid catalysts based on different metal oxides, such as zirconia, zinc, titanium, iron, tungsten, and magnetic materials, where the catalysts are optimized for various reaction parameters, such as the amount of catalyst, molar ratio of oil to alcohol, reaction time, and temperature. Furthermore, yields and conversions for biodiesel production are compared. Such metal-oxide-based solid acid catalysts provide more sustainable, green, and easy-separation synthesis routes with high catalytic activity and reusability than traditionally used catalysts.

Abstract
The sulfonated magnetic SiO2 microsphere solid acid catalysts were prepared by the impregnation and grafting methods with iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) as the magnetic cores. The catalytic properties of the magnetic SiO2 solid acid catalyst were studied in detail. The characterization results showed that the SiO2 was successfully coated on the Fe3O4 MNPs. Compared with the grafting method, impregnated solid acid exhibits higher catalytic performance, which reached an esterification rate of up to 99.00% when the reaction temperature was 105 °C, the molar ratio of n-butanol/adipic acid was 3:1, and the ratio of the catalyst (the mass of magnetic solid acid) to liquids (the total volume of n-butanol and adipic acid) was 2.95%. The magnetic solid acid exhibited great separation ability and reusability. After six times of recycle, the conversion of the grafted magnetic solid acid still attained 85.61% compared with that of the impregnated magnetic solid acid, which reduced to 81.35%, holding great potential for green chemical processes.

Abstract
A novel zerovalen-iron-biochar composite (nZVI/SBC) was synthesized by using FeCl3-laden sorghum straw biomass as the raw material via a facile one-step pyrolysis method without additional chemical reactions (e.g., by NaBH4 reduction or thermochemical reduction). The nZVI/SBC was successfully employed as an activator in phenol degradation by activated persulfate. XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption and atomic absorption spectrophotometry analysis showed that the nanosized Fe0 was the main component of the 4ZVI/SBC activator, which was a mesopore material with an optimal FeCl3·6H2O/biomass impregnation mass ratio of 2.7 g/g. The 4ZVI/SBC activator showed an efficient degradation of phenol (95.65% for 30 min at 25 °C) with a large specific surface area of 78.669 m2·g-1. The recovery of 4ZVI/SBC activator after the degradation reaction of phenol can be realized with the small amount of dissolved iron in the water. The 4ZVI/SBC activator facilitated the activation of persulfate to degrade phenol into non-toxic CO2 and H2O. The trend of Cl-, SO4 2- and NO3 - affected the removal efficiency of phenol by using the 4ZVI/SBC activator in the following order: NO3 - > SO4 2- > Cl-. The one-step synthesis of the nanosized zerovalent-iron-biochar composite was feasible and may be applied as an effective strategy for controlling organic waste (e.g. phenol) by waste biomass.

Abstract
Molten salt has been regarded as a versatile and environmental-friendly method for the material preparation and waste destruction. In this work, molten FeCl3 was utilized for the generation of magnetic biochar (MBC) derived from simultaneous activation and magnetization of biomass. The sample characterization indicated that MBC had a rough surface with BET surface area of 404 m2/g and total pore volume of 0.35cm3/g. Highly dispersed Fe3O4 and nitrogen could be deposited on the surface, leading to an excellent magnetization property. The MBC exhibited a great 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2.4-DCP) and atrazine removal performance in solution with the maximum adsorption capacity achieved 298.12 mg/g and 102.17 mg/g. Kinetics results demonstrated that MBC adsorption met the Pseudo-first-order model better. Molten NaOH-Na2CO3 was provided for the re-activation of exhausted MBC. 2,4-DCP was firstly desorbed from the MBC and subsequently destructed by the active species in the melt medium. Chlorine can be captured in the molten alkaline medium from the XRD pattern of residues.The MBC could be easily recovered with a yield of 98.2% and fixed carbon content of 61.0% after the molten salt regeneration process. With no 2,4-DCP detected, 65.5% and 31.69% of initial Cl was found in washing water and residues with the molten NaOH-Na2CO3, respectively. After 4 cycles of regeneration and adsorption, 60.55%-72.22% of initial adsorption capacity can be kept. This preparation and regeneration method can be an effective way to reduce the risk of secondary pollution of chlorinated organic compounds during adsorbent regeneration.Implications: Molten salt (MS) is a salt or multiple salts with a low melting point, and has been applied in many sectors and is regarded as a crucial role in terms of energy, environmental, and resource sustainability. In our paper, magnetic biochar was prepared by one-step activation and magnetization of fir dust using molten FeCl3∙6H2O. Meanwhile, a regeneration method using molten alkaline salt was provided. Magnetic biochar generated in our study performed well in the 2,4-dichlorophenol and atrazine adsorption. After four cycles of regeneration and adsorption, 72.2% of initial 2,4-DCP adsorption capacity can be kept.

Abstract
This study investigated the behavior of two types of modified biochar (functional and iron composite biochars) as a catalyst regarding their surface chemistry and morphological properties and their effects on bio-product derived from pyrolysis of Cladophora glomerata (C. glomerata) macroalagae. Two catalytic pyrolysis experiments were conducted in 25 mL slow pyrolysis reactor in the presence of biochar-based catalysts at the temperature of 500 °C. For functional biochar, no clear effect on biogas production was observed, whereas iron composite biochar increased the hydrogen content by 7.99 mml/g algae. Iron composite biochar with a 3D network structure demonstrated remarkable catalytic behaviors (especially toward hydrogen production) due to its wonderful surface area, high dispersion of iron particles and particular structures and compositions. The biochar derived marine biomass and treatment process developed here could provide a promising path for the low-cost, efficient, renewable and environmental friendly catalysts.

Abstract
Modified biochar has attracted wide attention due to its advantageous adsorption performance. However, the influence of modification process of biochar on adsorption capacity was seldom studied. In this study, biochar derived from corn stalks was modified through two kinds of modification processes: pre-pyrolysis (MBCpre) and post-pyrolysis (MBCpost) modification with citric acid, sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, respectively. The results showed that the biochar modified by ferric chloride (MBC) provided better adsorption capacity for Cr(VI), and the pre-pyrolysis offered more favorable adsorption capacity for biochar than post-pyrolysis. By means of instrumental analysis, it was found that MBCpre owned highly dispersed Fe3O4 particles and larger surface area, which could be the critical role for enhancing the adsorption capacity of MBCpre. Meanwhile, MBCpost appeared more protonated oxygen-rich functional groups(C=O, -OH, etc.) and adsorbed Cr(VI) by electrostatic attraction and complexation. This study will offer a novel idea for the treatment of chromium-containing wastewater by selecting the modification processes of biochar. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Abstract
Biochar (BC) generated from thermal and hydrothermal cracking of biomass is a carbon-rich product with the microporous structure. The graphene-like structure of BC contains different chemical functional groups (e.g. phenolic, carboxylic, carbonylic, etc.), making it a very attractive tool for wastewater treatment, CO2 capture, toxic gas adsorption, soil amendment, supercapacitors, catalytic applications, etc. However, the carbonaceous and mineral structure of BC has a potential to accept more favorable functional groups and discard undesirable groups through different chemical processes. The current review aims at providing a comprehensive overview on different chemical modification mechanisms and exploring their effects on BC physicochemical properties, functionalities, and applications. To reach these objectives, the processes of oxidation (using either acidic or alkaline oxidizing agents), amination, sulfonation, metal oxide impregnation, and magnetization are investigated and compared. The nature of precursor materials, modification preparatory/conditions, and post-modification processes as the key factors which influence the final product properties are considered in detail; however, the focus is dedicated to the most common methods and those with technological importance.

Abstract
During the past decade, biochar has attracted immense scientific interest for agricultural and environmental applications. A broad range of biochars with advantageous properties (e.g., high surface area, flexible architecture, and high porosity) has been developed for pollution abatement. Nevertheless, biochar suffers from certain drawbacks (e.g., limited sorption capacity for anions and poor mechanical properties) that limit their practical applicability. This review focuses on recent advancements in biochar technology, especially with respect to its technical aspects, the variables associated with removing phosphates from water, and the challenges for such abatement. The attention paid to the specific remediation of phosphate from water using biochar is limited (n=1114 - Scopus) compared to the application of biochar to other common water pollutants (n=3998 - Scopus). The subject warrants immediate rigorous research because of the undesirable effects of excess phosphate in water bodies. This review will thus facilitate the construction of a roadmap for further developments and the expansion of this challenging area of research.

Abstract
An eco-friendly and low-cost lignosulfonate-based acidic carbonaceous catalyst (LS-SO3H) was effectively fabricated using the sulfite pulping by-product of sodium lignosulfonate as a precursor by facile one-step simultaneous carbonization and sulfonation, and employed for the synthesis of promising biofuel furan derivatives from biorenewable feedstocks. The catalyst preparation conditions significantly affected the preparation and properties of LS-SO3H. A relatively high catalyst preparation yield (40.4%) with strong –SO3H density (1.33 mmol g−1) were achieved when the lignosulfonate was treated in concentrated H2SO4 solution at 120 °C for 6 h. The preparation yield of LS-SO3H was nearly twice as much as that of one-step prepared catalyst using alkaline lignin (another technical lignin from pulping) as a precursor. The as-prepared LS-SO3H had similar textural characteristics to the frequently-used two-step prepared carbonaceous catalyst involving pyrolysis carbonization and sulfonation. LS-SO3H was found to show good catalytic activity for the synthesis of 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) in ethanol medium, affording around 86%, 57% and 47% yields from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), fructose and inulin, respectively. Also, a high HMF yield of 83% could be obtained from fructose when DMSO was replaced as reaction medium. The used LS-SO3H was readily recovered by filtration, and remained active in recycle runs. An easy-prepared and bio-supported lignosulfonate-based acidic carbonaceous catalyst was developed for the synthesis of promising furan biofuels from biorenewable feedstocks.![]()

Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the application of a solid acid catalyst, a replacement for mineral acids or enzymes, to biomass conversion for further applications. Sulfonated zeolite, HSO3-ZSM-5, was successfully synthesized and characterized by several analysis techniques. The obtained catalyst showed high activity and efficiency in the hydrolysis of pretreated corn cob. Moreover, the acidity of the zeolite product positively influenced the biomass conversion. The influences of reaction parameters such as catalyst loading, reaction time and temperature on the hydrolysis were also established. Under suitable conditions, a hydrolysis yield of ∼54% was achieved. This recyclable solid acid catalyst provided a promising potential for applications in many industrially important hydrolysis processes of biomass. The influence of acidity of HSO3-ZSM-5 zeolite on biomass hydrolysis was investigated.![]()

Abstract
Pollution of heavy metals (HMs) is a detrimental treat to human health and need to be cleaned up in a proper way. Biochar (BC), a low-cost and "green" adsorbent, has attracted significant attention due to its considerable HMs removal capacity. In particular, nano-metals have recently been used to assist BC in improving its reactivity, surface texture and magnetism. Synthesis methods and metal precursors greatly influence the properties and structures of the nanocomposites, thereby affecting their HMs removal performance. This review presents advances in synthesis methods, formation mechanisms and surface characteristics of BC nanocomposites, along with the discussions on HMs removal mechanisms and the effects of environmental factors on HMs removal efficiency. Performance of using BC nanocomposites to remediate real HMs-containing wastewater and issues associated with its process scale-up are also discussed. This review aims to provide useful information to facilitate the development of HMs removal by nanoscale-metal assisted BC.

Abstract
Biochar is a common byproduct from thermochemical conversion of biomass to produce bioenergy. However, the biochar features, such as morphology, porosity and surface chemistry, cannot be well controlled in conventional conversion approaches, limiting the wide application of raw biochar. Aiming to meet the specific requirements, post-modification of raw biochar was frequently conducted to improve the quality. In this review, recent developments regarding post-modification methods of biochar are presented and discussed. Progresses on the applications of post modified biochar as electrode materials for supercapacitors are intensively summarized. This review aims to reveal the key factors that affecting the performance of biochar-based supercapacitors, and provide guidance for rationalizing the modification methods to expand the applications of biochar-based functional materials in supercapacitors.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, more than two billion people in our world use drinking water sources which are not free from pathogens and heavy metal contamination. Unsafe drinking water is responsible for the death of several millions in the 21st century. To find facile and cost-effective routes for developing multifunctional materials, which has the capability to resolve many of the challenges associated with drinking water problem, here, we report the novel design of multifunctional fluorescence-magnetic biochar with the capability for highly efficient separation, identification, and removal of pathogenic superbugs and toxic metals from environmental water samples. Details of synthesis and characterization of multifunctional biochar that exhibits very good magnetic properties and emits bright blue light owing to the quantum confinement effect are reported. In our design, biochar, a carbon-rich low-cost byproduct of naturally abundant biomass, which exhibits heterogeneous surface chemistry and strong binding affinity via oxygen-containing group on the surface, has been used to capture pathogens and toxic metals. Biochar dots (BCDs) of an average of 4 nm size with very bright photoluminescence have been developed for the identification of pathogens and toxic metals. In the current design, magnetic nanoparticles have been incorporated with BCDs which allow pathogens and toxic metals to be completely removed from water after separation by an external magnetic field. Reported results show that owing to the formation of strong complex between multifunctional biochar and cobalt(II), multifunctional biochar can be used for the selective capture and removal of Co(II) from environmental samples. Experimental data demonstrate that multifunctional biochar can be used for the highly efficient removal of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from environmental samples. Reported results also show that melittin, an antimicrobial peptide-attached multifunctional biochar, has the capability to completely disinfect MRSA superbugs after magnetic separation. A possible mechanism for the selective separation of Co(II), as well as separation and killing of MRSA, has been discussed.

Abstract
Hydrochar derived from hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) has been recognized as a promising carbonaceous material for environmental remediation. Organic solvents are widely used to extract bio-oil from hydrochar after HTC, but the effects of solvent extraction on hydrochar characteristics have not been investigated. This study comprehensively analyzed the effects of different washing times and solvent types on the hydrochar properties. The results indicate that the mass loss of hydrochar by tetrahydrofuran washing occurred mainly in the first 90 min, and the loss ratios of elements followed a descending order of H > C > O, resulting in a decrease in the H/C atomic ratio and an increase in the O/C atomic ratio. The use of various solvents for washing brought about hydrochar loss ratios in a descending order of petroleum ether < dichloromethane < acetone < tetrahydrofuran. The results from the Van Krevelen diagram and Fourier transform infrared, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies further confirmed that demethanation controlled this washing process. Most importantly, the surface area of hydrochar increased after bio-oil removal via washing, which promoted the surface area development for hydrochar-derived magnetic carbon composites, but to some extent decreased the microporosity. Additionally, hydrochar washing by organic solvent has important implications for the global carbon cycle and its remediation application.

Abstract
The hydrolysis process of a real fraction of arabinoxylans derived from wheat bran was studied. The influence of catalyst type and loading, reaction time and different metal cations were discussed in terms of the hydrolysis yield of arabinose and xylose oligomers as well as the formation of furfural as degradation product. A high yield of arabinoxylans into the corresponding monomeric sugars (96 and 94% from arabino- and xylo-oligosaccharides, respectively) was obtained at relatively high temperatures (180°C) and short reaction times (15min) with a catalyst loading of 4.8g of RuCl3/Al-MCM-48 per g of initial carbon in hemicelluloses.

To date, this technology has been used most often for removal/recovery of pollutants from aqueous solutions; however, emerging post-sorption technologies are now enabling the manufacture of value-added key adsorption products that can subsequently be used for (i) fertilizers, (ii) catalysis, (iii) carbonaceous metal nanoparticle synthesis, (iv) feed additives, and (v) biologically active compounds. These new strategies ensure the sustainable valorisation of post-sorption materials as an economically viable alternative to the engineering of other green chemical products because of the ecological affability, biocompatibility, and widespread accessibility of post-sorption materials. Fertilizers and feed additives manufactured using sorption technology contain elements such as N, P, Cu, Mn, and Zn, which improve soil fertility and provide essential nutrients to animals and humans. This green and effective approach to managing post-sorption materials is an important step in reaching the global goals of sustainability and healthy human nutrition. Post-sorbents have also been utilized for the harvesting of metal nanoparticles via modern catalytic pyrolysis techniques. The resulting materials exhibited a high surface area (>1000m2/g) and are further used as catalysts and adsorbents. Together with the above possibilities, energy production from post-sorbents is under exploration. Many of the vital 3E (energy, environment, and economy) problems can be addressed using post-sorption materials. In this review, we summarize a new generation of applications of post-adsorbents as value-added green chemical products. At the end of each section, scientific challenges, further opportunities, and issues related to toxicity are discussed. We believe this critical evaluation not only delivers essential contextual information to researchers in the field but also stimulates new ideas and applications to further advance post-sorbent applications.

Abstract
As the ever-growing demand for high-performance power sources, lithium-ion batteries with high storage capacities and outstanding rate performance have been widely considered as a promising storage device. In this work, starting with metal-organic frameworks, we have developed a facile approach to the synthesis of hybrid Fe3O4/VOx hollow microboxes via the process of hydrolysis and ion exchange and subsequent calcination. In the constructed architecture, the hollow structure provides an efficient lithium ion diffusion pathway and extra space to accommodate the volume expansion during the insertion and extraction of Li+. With the assistance of carbon coating, the obtained Fe3O4/VOx@C microboxes exhibit excellent cyclability and enhanced rate performance when employed as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. As a result, the obtained Fe3O4/VOx@C delivers a high Coulombic efficiency (near 100%) and outstanding reversible specific capacity of 742 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. Moreover, a remarkable reversible capacity of 556 mAh g-1 could be retained even at a current density of 2 A g-1. This study provides a fundamental understanding for the rational design of other composite oxides as high-performance electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
