Biomass-derived carbon (BC) has attracted extensive attention as anode material for lithium ion batteries (LiBs) due to its natural hierarchical porous structure and rich heteroatoms that can adsorb Li + . However, the specific surface area of pure biomass carbon is generally small, so we can help NH 3 and inorganic acid produced by urea decomposition to strip biomass, improve its specific surface area and enrich nitrogen elements. The nitrogen-rich graphite flake obtained by the above treatment of hemp is named NGF. The product that has a high nitrogen content of 10.12% has a high specific surface area of 1151.1 m 2 g À 1 . In the lithium ion battery test, the capacity of NGF is 806.6 mAh g À 1 at 30 mA g À 1 , which is twice than that of BC. NGF also showed excellent performance that is 429.2 mAh g À 1 under high current testing at 2000 mA g À 1 . The reaction process kinetics is analyzed and we found that the outstanding rate performance is attributed to the large-scale capacitance control. In addition, the results of the constant current intermittent titration test indicate that the diffusion coefficient of NGF is greater than that of BC. This work proposes a simple method of nitrogen-rich activated carbon, which has a significantly commercial prospect.

“…Porous carbon (PC) is a class of carbon materials with certain pore structures, whose properties are mainly determined by the pore size, pore amounts and pore distribution [1][2][3][4]. Because of its high surface area, strong resistance to acid and base, controllable pore size and structure, facile surface modification and excellent electrical conductivity, the PCs have great applications in various fields, including lithium-ion batteries [5][6][7][8][9], supercapacitors [10][11][12][13], catalysis [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and gas adsorption [21][22][23], and has become a focus of attention in recent years. Meanwhile, the abundant carbon sources (carbon precursors) used to prepare PC, such as biomass [24,25], polymers [26], metal-organic frameworks [13] and carbon-containing organic salts [27], and the various methods to prepare PC, enable the PC, exhibiting multitudinous structures and properties.…”
Hierarchically porous carbon (PC) was synthesized by a templating method, using magnesium salts (Mg(HCO3)2, MgC2O4 and MgO) as template precursors and citric acid as carbon precursor. During the carbonization process, besides the production of MgO particles, many gases (e.g., CO2/NO2/H2O) were also released and acted as a porogen to generate pores in carbon. The resulting composite (MgO@C) was subsequently treated with HCl solution to remove the MgO templates, yielding hierarchically porous carbon. The surface oxygen functional groups over porous carbon were characterized by TPD and XPS, which showed that the PC-bic, synthesized using Mg(HCO3)2 as the template precursor, had the highest value among the PCs. As expected, the PC-bic exhibited the best performances for electrocatalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol, with a peak current of −135.5 μA at −0.679 V. The effects of 4-nitrophenol concentration, buffer solution pH and scanning rate on the electrocatalytic activities, as well as the stability of PC-bic for the reaction were investigated.
