Value creation through waste recycling is important for a sustainable society and future. In particular, biomass, which is based on crops, is a great recyclable resource that can be converted into useful materials. Black tea is one of the most cultivated agricultural products in the world and is mostly discarded after brewing. Herein, we report the application of black tea waste biomass as electrode material for supercapacitors through the activation of biomass hydrochar under various conditions. Raw black tea was converted into hydrochar via a hydrothermal carbonization process and then activated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) to provide a large surface area and porous structure. The activation temperature and ratio of KOH were controlled to synthesize the optimal black tea carbon (BTC) with a large surface area and porosity suitable for use as electrode material. This method suggests a direction in which the enormous amount of biomass, which is simply discarded, can be utilized in the energy storage system. The synthesized optimal BTC has a large surface area of 1062 m2 and specific capacitance up to 200 F∙g−1 at 1 mV∙s−1. Moreover, it has 98.8% retention of charge–discharge capacitance after 2000 cycles at the current density of 5 A∙g−1.

Abstract The use of waste materials in concrete has been accelerated around the world recently. In this study, thermal and compressive strength properties of concrete doped with black tea waste are studied to assess the availability of using this type of waste in concrete. Black tea waste with 0.3 and 0.5 vol.-% were added to concrete mixtures. Thermal conductivity and effusivity of concrete with black tea waste were evaluated firstly, and load-bearing capacity of this biomass doped concrete were also investigated by the compressive test and Schmidt hammer test. The results showed that using black tea waste with 0.3 vol.-% slightly decreased the compressive strength of concrete whereas there was a considerable decrease in thermal conductivity. However, using black tea waste with 0.5 vol.-% causes an obvious decrease in compressive strength and a decrease in thermal conductivity of concrete which is not directly proportional with the amount of black tea. Therefore, with a small toleration of loss of compressive strength, black tea waste doped concrete can be produced with high volume fractions in order to have concrete samples with good thermal insulation for research purposes.
