“…Different types of carbonaceous materials, such as carbon spheres [5], carbon black [6], porous carbon [7][8], and carbon fibers [9][10] have served as primary anode materials 2 for LIBs. Nevertheless, subjected to severe scarcity of resources and various environmental issues, it is still an austere challenge to develop mechanically flexible electrode materials which combine merits of high electrochemical performance with low cost for its wider applications.…”

Bio-based, cost-effective carbon nanofibers are fabricated from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) refined biotechnology humic acids (RB) via simple eletrospinning after stabilization and carbonization. The influence of PAN/ RB mass ratios and heat-treatment temperatures (HTTs) on structure and morphology is systematically studied. Excitingly, a first discharge/charge capacity of 937.9/613.4 mAh g-1 (coulombic efficiency of 65.4%) is achieved at 20 mA g-1 for PB7/3-800 in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Meanwhile, a charge capacity of 348.2 mAh g-1 (about 89% retention ratio) remains even after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1. It is demonstrated that biomass humic acids can be applied as a promising precursor to fabricate high performance, low-cost, as well as "green" carbon electrode material for LIBs.

“…A planar‐type sodium–nickel chloride battery with a carbon‐coated alumina membrane was designed to enhance the electrochemical performance of the cell. The cells were successfully charged/discharged at 350 °C at a 0.1C rate between 2.0 and 3.0 V. The carbon coating affected the stability of cell performance . After carbon coating, the charge and discharge performance improved and resistance was reduced.…”

“…Modifying the β″‐Al 2 O 3 membrane surface is considered an effective way to improve the wettability of sodium. In general, carbon materials are more readily wetted by molten metal than by ceramics and they possess good conductivity . In addition, it has been reported that adoption of thin‐walled β″‐Al 2 O 3, a Pt grid, and Ni nanowires results in enhanced electrochemical performance.…”

Sodium-nickel chloride batteries have been used as energy storage devices because of their high operating voltage, ease of assembly in a discharged state, the less corrosive nature of the cathode materials, safer cell failure mode, and better tolerance against overcharging. In this study, we fabricated a planar-type cell equipped with an elastic spring rod in the anode to maintain effective sodium utilization. In addition, we investigated the influence of carbon coating on the β 00 -Al 2 O 3 membrane. The carbon coating layer on the β 00 -Al 2 O 3 membrane showed improved wettability for sodium metal. The carbon-coated alumina membrane delivered a higher initial charge/discharge capacity than the pristine membrane cells.

“…Porous carbon materials have gained much attention due to their high specific surface area, good thermal stability, tunable porosity, chemical inertness, and biocompatibility. These features contribute to their high performance in various applications, such as the adsorption of dye molecules, which have become one of the most serious air/water pollutants [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Activated carbon, owing to its large specific surface area and high pore volume, is frequently used as an adsorbent [15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

In this work, nanoporous carbons (NPCs) were prepared by the self-assembly of polymeric carbon precursors and block copolymer template in the presence of tetraethyl orthosilicate and colloidal silica. The NPCs' pore structures and total pore volumes were analyzed by reference to N 2 /77 K adsorption isotherms. The porosity and elemental mercury adsorption of NPCs were increased by activation with carbon dioxide. It could be resulted that elemental mercury adsorption ability of NPCs depended on their specific surface area and micropore fraction.
