For most electrodes fabricated with carbon, transition metal compounds, or conductive polymers, the capacitance may deteriorate cyclic charging and discharging. Thus, an electrochemically stable supercapacitor has long been pursued by researchers. In this work, hierarchical structure of balsa wood is preserved in converted carbon which used as a supporting framework to fabricate for supercapacitors. Well-grown nanotubes (CNTs) on interior exterior surfaces channels provide two advantages...
Abstract Lignin is a waste product in the paper industry and lignocellulosic biorefineries, addition to being second most abundant renewable biopolymer on Earth. Valorization of useless lignin into high value‐added advanced materials not only helps address environmentally detrimental biowaste but also satisfies societal need for energy. While has been converted porous carbon, made slurry, pasted onto metal forms as an electrode lithium‐ion batteries supercapacitors, there remains issues with...
The Cover Feature illustrates valorization of biowaste lignin into free-standing porous carbon block coupled with alkali metals for supercapacitors to satisfy the societal need energy. More information can be found in Research Article by Z. Cai, Y. Yang and co-workers.
Economic and environmental concerns are the main driving force behind ever increasing demand for higher gas turbine engine inlet temperatures critical meeting efficiency goals. Turbine materials, while in operation, exposed to corrosive deposits of molten Na 2 SO 4 produced from high temperature reaction NaCl salt with sulphur resulting fuel combustion. This phenomenon is known as “hot corrosion” may lead catastrophic failure structural components. New light-weight high-strength,...
