Nanocasting is a powerful method for creating materials that are more difficult to synthesize
by conventional processes. We summarize recent developments in the synthesis of various …

Applicability of biochar in water treatment is gaining interest due to its sustainability and low
production cost. Herein, the biochar (BC) and activated biochar (ABC) synthesized from the …

Single layer graphene and graphene oxide feature useful and occasionally unique
properties by virtue of their two-dimensional structure. Given that there is a strong correlation …

The enormous complexity of the carbon material family has provoked a phenomenological
approach to develop its potential in different applications. Although the electronic, chemical …

In this study, coconut shell based carbons were chemically treated by ammonia, sodium
hydroxide, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and phosphoric acid to determine suitable modification …

The influence of surface chemistry and solution pH on the adsorption of benzene and
toluene on activated carbon and its acid and heat treated forms were studied. A commercial …

Silicon is a promising negative electrode for secondary lithium-based batteries, but the
electrochemical reversibility of particularly nanostructured silicon electrodes drastically …

ABSTRACT Functionalization of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) plays an important role in creating
CNT hybride material. In this study, integrated analysis of functional group sites on the …

Vapor grown carbon nanofibers (Pyrograf III™) with 100–300 nm diameters and∼ 10–100
μm lengths were oxidized in 69–71 wt.% nitric acid (115° C) for various times (10 min to 24 …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a global view about the importance of the surface
chemistry to the major environmental applications of the carbons. As an introduction to this …
