Porous carbon has received great attentions for electrochemical energy storage devices. In this study, we proposed a novel and scalable method to fabricate porous carbon, which contained macro and mesopores, from sustainable biomass raw material of cotton cellulose.MgO template, which acted as pore creator, was incorporated into the cellulose-derived carbon by absorbing a Mg(NO 3 ) 2 solution in cellulose fibers with subsequent drying and carbonization processes. After removing the MgO template by acid leaching, porous carbon was produced with a specific surface area as high as 1260 m 2 g -1 . The sample showed attractive electrochemical performances as the anode material for Li ion batteries (LIBs). The carbon anode delivered a high reversible capacity of 793 mAh g -1 at a current density of 0.5 A g -1 after 500 cycles. The carbon anode also showed a high-rate capability, and a capacity of 355 mAh g -1can be obtained at a current density of 4 A g -1 . A wide comparison with literatures also showed that the cotton-derived porous carbon was among the most promising carbon-based anodes forLIBs.

“…Subsequently, the resulting solutions were evaporated to sol-gels at 95 ˚C, which were transferred to a laboratory made apparatus for SCS as described in our previous study [14,[17][18][19][20]. The reactor consisted of a stainless steel bin with a long vertical stainless steel mesh chimney, which permitted the safe removal of large amounts of gases during combustion.…”

“…The auto‐combustion (step 1) of nitrate–glycine gels is the well‐known SCS process, which is an exothermic and self‐sustaining redox reaction process by heating a mixture of metal nitrates and glycine or other organic fuels. The SCS process has been used to synthesize a variety of useful oxide materials, which shows many advantages such as fast preparation with auto‐combustion at low temperature, easy doping of elements with trace amount, and products with nanosized and/or highly porous structure . Here, in this study, we employed the glycine–nitrate‐based SCS process to produce MgO/N–C and MgO–CoO x /N–C precursors under Ar atmosphere.…”

Hierarchical porous carbon has attracted great interest because of its distinctive structure and superior properties for designing electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. In this work, a novel method to fabricate nitrogen‐doped hierarchical porous carbon (NHPC) is reported, which is incorporated with Co nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The NHPC is prepared using a facile and scalable MgO–Co template method. Metal nitrate–glycine solution combustion synthesis, followed by a high temperature calcination, is used to prepare MgO–Co/N‐doped carbon precursor. CNTs are formed by the in situ Co‐catalytic growth during heat treatment; at the same time, localized graphitic layers are also formed around the Co nanoparticles. After acid washing, NHPC with hierarchical multipores and ultrafine Co nanoparticles is obtained. When applied as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst, the NHPC displays high catalytic activity not only in terms of onset potential and current density, but also superior durability and tolerance to methanol crossover in alkaline electrolyte. The remarkable ORR activity is originated from the cooperative effects of high specific surface area, hierarchical pore structure, ultrasmall Co nanocrystals, localized graphitic layers, CNTs, and N‐doping.
