The activated carbon with high surface area was prepared by KOH activation from anthracite and used as adsorbent for removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The pore structure and surface properties were characterized by N2 adsorption at 77K, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR). Effect of pH and isotherms at different temperature were investigated. Results show that the prepared carbon is a microporous-and mesoporous-adsorbent with developed pore structure and abundant surface oxygen-containing groups. PH value of the solution plays key function on the adsorption. The chemical adsorption dominates the adsorption process. The activated carbon exhibits much higher Cr adsorption capacity than the commercial activated carbon at initial pH of ~3. The equilibrium adsorption data are fitted by both Freundlich model and Langmuir model well.

Activated carbon materials are used in hybrid battery capacitors. They reduce energy density of devices, and can greatly improve the cycle life and power density. Herein, we used fast-growing persimmon branches in Shaanxi as a biomass carbon source. The persimmon branch activated carbon (PB-AC850) material was found to exhibit abundant graded pore structure similar to graphite structure after KOH activation. The macro/mesoporous structure in PB-AC850 facilitated the ions (solvated PF-6 ) transport, resulting in much better rate capability as compared to commercial activated carbon. It was moreover found from preparation of the hybrid battery capacitor that the addition of activated carbon reduced resistance and polarization of the device. LFP+PB-AC850 exhibited excellent cycle stability with high to 93.4% capacity reservation after 500 cycles at 5C.

The aim of this study was to optimize the adsorption performance of activated carbon (AC), derived from the shell of Penaeus vannamei prawns, on heavy metal ions. Inexpensive, non-toxic, and renewable prawn shells were subjected to carbonization and, subsequently, KOH-activation to produce nanoporous K-Ac. Carbonized prawn shells (CPS) and nanoporous KOH-activated carbon (K-Ac) from prawn shells were prepared and characterized by FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM, and TEM. The results showed that as-produced K-Ac samples were a porous material with microporous and mesoporous structures and had a high specific surface area of 3160 m2/g, average pore size of about 10 nm, and large pore volume of 2.38 m3/g. Furthermore, batches of K-Ac samples were employed for testing the adsorption behavior of Cd2+ in solution. The effects of pH value, initial concentration, and adsorption time on Cd2+ were systematically investigated. Kinetics and isotherm model analysis of the adsorption of Cd2+ on K-Ac showed that experimental data were not only consistent with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, but also well-described by the quasi-first-order model. Finally, the adsorption behaviors of as-prepared K-Ac were also tested in a ternary mixture of heavy metal ions Cu2+, Cr6+, and Cd2+, and the total adsorption amount of 560 mg/g was obtained.

Porous Activated Carbon

Rechargeable lithium–oxygen (Li-O2) batteries represent state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage devices that provide high energy densities. However, their commercialization is challenging owing to their low charging/discharging efficiencies, short battery lives, high overpotentials, and high cathode manufacturing costs. In this study, we prepared a metal-free, N,P co-doped, porous activated carbon (N,P-PAC) electrode via KOH activation and P doping for application as a Li-O2 battery cathode. When used in a rechargeable Li-O2 battery, the N,P-PAC cathode showed a high specific discharge capacity (3724 mA h g−1 at 100 mA g−1), an excellent cycling stability (25 cycles with a limit capacity of 1000 mA h g−1), and a low charge/discharge voltage gap (1.22 V at 1000 mA h g−1). The N,P-PAC electrode showed a low overpotential (EOER-ORR) of 1.54 V. The excellent electrochemical performance of the N,P-PAC electrode can mainly be attributed to its large active area and oxygen-containing functional groups generated via KOH activation and P-doping processes. Therefore, the N,P-PAC prepared in this study was found to be a promising eco-friendly and sustainable metal-free cathode material for Li-O2 batteries.

Activated carbon (AC) was successfully prepared from low-cost forestry fir bark (FB) waste using KOH activation method. Morphology and texture properties of ACFB were studied by scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopies (SEM and HRTEM), respectively. The resulting fir bark-based activated carbon (ACFB) demonstrated high surface area (1552 m 2 g −1 ) and pore volume (0.84 cm 3 g −1 ), both of which reflect excellent potential adsorption properties of ACFB towards methylene blue (MB). The effect of various factors, such as pH, initial concentration, adsorbent content as well as adsorption duration, was studied individually. Adsorption isotherms of MB were fitted using all three nonlinear models (Freundlich, Langmuir and Tempkin). The best fitting of MB adsorption results was obtained using Freundlich and Temkin. Experimental results showed that kinetics of MB adsorption by our ACFB adsorbent followed pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 330 mg g −1 , which indicated that FB is an excellent raw material for low-cost production of AC suitable for cationic dye removal.
