“…According to Figure 2d and Figure S9, Supporting Information, the surface of MCS is covered by carboxylic acid groups; the peaks at 531.7 and 533.6 eV are ascribed to the CO bond and COH moiety in the citrate group. [22] The quantitative elemental analysis derived from XPS spectra revealed that the amount of oxygen increases from 17.70 at% in CCS to 23.12 at% in MCS, in alignment with our observation from FTIR analysis (Figure 2e and Figures S8 and S9, Supporting Information). Of prime importance is that the citrate groups are highly prone to attach to the surface of the nanospheres rather than participating in the self-assembly process of glucose.…”

Direct removal of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere, known as direct air capture (DAC) is attracting worldwide attention as a negative emission technology to control atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. However, the energy-intensive nature of CO 2 absorption-desorption processes has restricted deployment of DAC operations. Catalytic solvent regeneration is an effective solution to tackle this issue by accelerating CO 2 desorption at lower regeneration temperatures. This work reports a one-step synthesis methodology to prepare monodispersed carbon nanospheres (MCSs) using trisodium citrate as a structure-directing agent with acidic sites. The assembly of citrate groups on the surface of MCSs enables consistent spherical growth morphology, reduces agglomeration and enhances water dispersibility. The functionalization-assisted synthesis produces uniform, hydrophilic nanospheres of 100-600 nm range. This work also demonstrates that the prepared MCSs can be further functionalized with strong Brønsted acid sites, providing high proton donation ability. Furthermore, the materials can be effectively used in a wide range of amino acid solutions to substantially accelerate CO 2 desorption (25.6% for potassium glycinate and 41.1% for potassium lysinate) in the DAC process. Considering the facile synthesis of acidic MCSs and their superior catalytic efficiency, these findings are expected to pave a new path for energy-efficient DAC.

Nanotechnology has transformed the world with its diverse applications, ranging from industrial developments to impacting our daily lives. It has multiple applications throughout financial sectors and enables the development of facilitating scientific endeavors with extensive commercial potentials. Nanomaterials, especially the ones which have shown biomedical and other health‐related properties, have added new dimensions to the field of nanotechnology. Recently, the use of bioresources in nanotechnology has gained significant attention from the scientific community due to its 100 % eco‐friendly features, availability, and low costs. In this context, jute offers a considerable potential. Globally, its plant produces the second most common natural cellulose fibers and a large amount of jute sticks as a byproduct. The main chemical compositions of jute fibers and sticks, which have a trace amount of ash content, are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. This makes jute as an ideal source of pure nanocellulose, nano‐lignin, and nanocarbon preparation. It has also been used as a source in the evolution of nanomaterials used in various applications. In addition, hemicellulose and lignin, which are extractable from jute fibers and sticks, could be utilized as a reductant/stabilizer for preparing other nanomaterials. This review highlights the status and prospects of jute in nanotechnology. Different research areas in which jute can be applied, such as in nanocellulose preparation, as scaffolds for other nanomaterials, catalysis, carbon preparation, life sciences, coatings, polymers, energy storage, drug delivery, fertilizer delivery, electrochemistry, reductant, and stabilizer for synthesizing other nanomaterials, petroleum industry, paper industry, polymeric nanocomposites, sensors, coatings, and electronics, have been summarized in detail. We hope that these prospects will serve as a precursor of jute‐based nanotechnology research in the future.

“…Interestingly, the existence of S atoms around the pyrrolic-N atoms could possibly change the adsorption mechanism from chemisorption of H 2 S ( E ad = −336.28 kJ mol −1 ) to physisorption ( E ad = −23.92 kJ mol −1 ) with increased S/N ratio in the adsorbent. 340 Kuśmierek and co-workers exploited discarded tyre wastes to produce AC and assessed their prospects for removal of NO x , SO 2 and CO 2 . Further, the carbon adsorbent was evaluated for VOC adsorption as well as for Hg(0), HgCl 2 , As, dioxin and furan adsorption.…”
