Abstract:Porous carbon materials have been applied in many fields for their advanced physical features. Using biomass waste material as the activated carbon (AC) source is of importance to keep the sustainable environment. The CO 2 activation and KOH activation were adopted to create AC with the flexible porous structure and the former caused low surface area but with high nitrogen content of AC. The reversed results were formed with the KOH activation. The differences on specific surface area and nitrogen groups distr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
