A novel mangosteen peels derived hierarchical porous carbon for lithium sulfur battery

Biochar for agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, water treatment, soil remediation, construction, energy storage, and carbon sequestration: a review

“…Mangosteen peels were also used to create hierarchically porous carbon with an exceptional surface area of 0.324 × 10 4 m 2 g −1 and a pore volume of 1.58 cm 3 g −1 ; at current rates of 0.5 and 2 C, the produced carbon exhibited outstanding specific capacities of 0.87 and 0.569 × 10 3 mAh g −1 , respectively (Xue et al 2017 ).…”

Biomass-derived porous carbon materials for advanced lithium sulfur batteries

“…Because of the existence of biodiversity, the carbon which derived from different biomasses usually has unique structures and properties. According to the main components, biomass precursors can be divided into three types [45] : High-sugar and/or high-starch plants, such as cassava [53] , litchi [54] , corn [55] , usually used as precursors to obtain high specific surface area of microporous carbon materials, such as cassava [53] , which using as precursor can obtain microporous nano-carbons with high specific surface area of 1198 m 2 /g and a small pore volume of 0.67 cm 3 /g; Plants rich in cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, such as bamboo [19] , green algae [56] , mangosteen [57,58] , usually produce carbon nanoparticles with smaller specific surface areas, but are more likely to have hierarchical pore structures and bigger pore volumes. Taking walnut shell [59] as an example, hierarchical porous carbon materials can be obtained with a high specific surface area of 2318 m 2 /g and a large pore volume of 1.13 cm 3 /g by high-temperature carbonization.…”

Valorization of mangosteen, “The Queen of Fruits,” and new advances in postharvest and in food and engineering applications: A review

“…AC generated from mangosteen rind is also utilized in battery production. A hierarchical porous carbon generated from carbonized and activated mangosteen rind was able to deliver a high discharge capacity of up to 870 mAh/g when used as a composite cathode for a lithium sulfur battery [97]. Furthermore, the cell demonstrated a high capacity retention and capability rate [97], [98].…”

Furthermore, the cell demonstrated a high capacity retention and capability rate [97], [98]. In addition, a low-cost hard carbon (HC) anode for sodium ion batteries was developed from the mangosteen peel by Wang et al [99].…”
