“…The micropore volume and total pore volume, VDR [cm 3 g -1 ] and V0.97 [cm 3 g -1 ], respectively, were also obtained using the Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) equation applied to the nitrogen isotherm and the amount of N2 adsorbed at p/p0 = 0.97, respectively. The skeletal density of the carbon materials was determined by helium pycnometry using an AccuPyc II 1340 automatic device (Micromeritics, USA) [73].…”

The demand for efficient and cheap electrochemical storage devices is very high today. Naion batteries are emerging as a promising alternative to Li-ion batteries for large-scale applications, due to the much larger abundance of sodium. Among the different negative electrode materials allowing Na insertion at low potentials, hard carbons are the materials with the best electrochemical performances reported so far. Here we investigate the synthesis of hard carbons from tannins, an abundant and cheap bio-sourced carbon precursor made of polyphenolic molecules. We show that by a well-controlled synthesis method and hightemperature pyrolysis (1600°C), a hard carbon with developed ultra-microporosity is obtained. This hard carbon delivers a reversible capacity of 306 mAh g -1 at C/20 with a firstcycle coulombic efficiency of 87 %. To our knowledge, these electrochemical performances are among the best ever reported in the literature for biomass-derived hard carbons.

“…The heating rate was set at 2°C min -1 up to the final temperature of 900°C, which was held for 2h. The latter temperature was selected in order to ensure a high final carbon content [12][13][14]27] and a developed texture, which can be analysed by DFT models that were indeed developed for materials containing quasi-exclusively carbon [72,73]. The carbon gels were named by a letter (A for aerogel, C for cryogel, X for xerogel), followed by the mass of phenolic oil as indicated in the formulations detailed in Table 1.…”

“…Coal tar distillation leads to different fractions, phenolic oil (PO) among them. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two studies dealing with gels and carbon gels based on PO in the open literature [27,28]. A low-value PO from the company Bilbaína de Alquitranes -SA (BASA, Spain), mainly containing phenol, coumarone, o,m,p-xylene, indane, indene, o,m,p-cresol, and naphthalene, has been used in this work as carbon gel precursor.…”

The gelation of a low value-added industrial waste, phenolic oil (PO), was successfully carried out for the first time in the presence of an acid catalyst and paraformaldehyde (PF), which is a by-product of the formaldehyde industry. Therefore, the use of PO and PF can be considered a win-win situation and as an attempt to valorise these 'wastes' and integrate them into a circular economy. A broad range of formulations has been explored, and the optimal preparation conditions in terms of materials' homogeneity and yield have been identified for gels dried in different ways, leading to xerogels, cryogels and aerogels, as well as to their carbonaceous counterparts after pyrolysis at 900°C. The porous textures of the latter materials were studied in depth, and the results allowed selecting one carbon xerogel for adsorption studies of a reference molecule, methylene blue (MB), in the aqueous phase. Kinetic and equilibrium measurements, as well as the calculation of associated thermodynamic parameters, allowed elucidating the detailed adsorption mechanisms of MB in this type of carbon gel.

Biomass has been recognized as the most common source of renewable energy. In recent years, researchers have paved the way for a search for suitable biomass resources to replace traditional fossil fuel energy and provide high energy output. Although there are plenty of studies of biomass as good biomaterials, there is little detailed information about Staphylea holocarpa wood (S. holocarpa) as a potential bio-oil material. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of S. holocarpa wood as a bio-oil. Nanocatalyst cobalt (II) oxide (Co3O4) and Nickel (II) oxide (NiO) were used to improve the production of bio-oil from S. holocarpa wood . The preparation of biofuels and the extraction of bioactive drugs were performed by the rapid gasification of nanocatalysts. The result indicated that the abundant chemical components detected in the S. holocarpa wood extract could be used in biomedicine, cosmetics, and biofuels, and have a broad industrial application prospect. In addition, nanocatalyst cobalt tetraoxide (Co3O4) could improve the catalytic cracking of S. holocarpa wood and generate more bioactive molecules at high temperature, which is conducive to the utilization and development of S. holocarpa wood as biomass. This is the first time that S. holocarpa wood was used in combination with nanocatalysts. In the future, nanocatalysts can be used to solve the problem of sustainable development of biological resources.
