“…The carbonized powder was washed with 0.1 M HCl and DI water to eliminate any impurities. Similarly, Mohamedkhair et al (2020) reported the effect of activating agents on the preparation of ADCs from Albizia procera leaves. NaHCO 3 and ZnCl 2 activating agents were used in the preparation of ADCs, and their impact on surface functional groups, textural and structural properties, and SSA were compared.…”

Carbon is one of the versatile materials used in modern life for human welfare. It has a wide range of applications such as drug delivery, coatings, energy generation and storage, gas separation, water purification, sensor fabrication, and catalysis. Most of the widely used carbon materials are graphene and carbon nanotubes. Nonrenewable precursors (e.g., natural gas), toxic chemicals, and complex synthesis methods are often required for their preparation, limiting their wide practical applications. Besides these, biomass-derived carbons are attractive materials as they can be prepared simply from renewable biomass. However, their practical applications' success partially depends on their properties like size, shape, porosity, and presence of heteroatoms, which can be controlled by selecting the proper type of biomass, activating agent, and preparation method. It is noted that different species of plants have different chemical compositions and textures. This mini-review summarizes our group's recent sophisticated developments in agricultural-bio-waste-derived carbonaceous materials, including nanomaterials for electrocatalytic water splitting, electrochemical sensors, supercapacitors, water splitting, water treatment, gas separation, and enhance oil recovery. This offers valuable insights and essential guidelines towards the future design of agro-waste derived carbonaceous materials in various applications. Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 27(2): 467-478, 2020 (December)

“…The chemical agents include phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ), potassium hydroxide (KOH), zinc chloride (ZnCl 2 ), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ), and others that cause partial degradation and dehydration of the raw material. [17,51,52] Compared with physical activation, higher product yield is obtained at lower activation temperatures with chemical activation. [54,55] ACs with well-developed macro-, meso-, and microporosity and large SSA are obtained through chemical activation in shorter treatment times.…”

This article summarizes the preparation and applications of carbon derived from jute sticks and fibers that are low‐cost, widely available, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Both the fibers and sticks are considered ideal candidates of carbon preparation because they are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, and contain negligible ash content. Various carbon preparation methods including simple pyrolysis, pyrolysis with chemical and physical activations are discussed. The impacts of several parameters including types of activating agents, impregnation ratio, and temperature on their morphology, surface area, pore size, crystallinity, and surface functional groups are also emphasized. Various treatments to endow functionalization for increasing the practical applicability, such as chemical, physical, and physico‐chemical methods, are discussed. In addition, applications of jute‐derived carbon in various practical areas, including energy storage, water treatment, and sensors, are also highlighted in this report. Due to the porous fine structure and a large specific surface area, the jute‐derived carbon could be considered as a powerful candidate material for various industrial applications. Finally, possible future prospects of jute‐derived carbon for various applications are pointed out.
