“…Regarding biochars, BC2 displayed a higher surface area than BC1 (281 ± 11 m 2 g −1 vs 31 ± 2 m 2 g −1 respectively), confirming that higher pyrolysis temperature produces biochars with higher surface areas (Chen et al, 2008, Delannoy et al, 2018, Khalid et al, 2020, Park et al, 2015, Yang et al, 2019. In addition, Oak 700 and Knotweed 700 displayed different characteristics such as specific surface area (281 ± 11 m 2 g −1 vs 196 ± 6 m 2 g −1 respectively), mesoporosity (absence of mesoporosity vs 0.03 cm 3 g −1 respectively) and pore width (100% of relative pore distribution between 20 nm and 300 nm vs >97% lower than 20 nm), indicating the role of raw material in generating different porous characteristics and confirming that BC originating from wood material present higher porosities than those originating from herbaceous material (Behazin et al, 2015, Keiluweit et al, 2010, Wang et al, 2015.…”
