Carbon Soot for Electrochemical Energy Storage Applications

Abstract

Flood modelling is an important first step towards understanding and managing floods, at all spatial scales, from a large catchment of a river to highly developed urban areas and to individual property and infrastructure. Recent advances in modelling techniques along with sophisticated computational tools and data products have facilitated a rapid progress in flood modelling. Despite this progress, an accurate assessment and forecasting of floods with the associated risk is still elusive due to uncertainties at each stage of the modelling. This paper presents a review of flood modelling with specific focus on India. In recent years, significant contributions have been made by Indian researchers to the hydrologic science in general, and to flood modelling in particular. Indian contributions to the areas of hydrologic modelling of floods, flood forecasting, flash flood modelling, urban floods, and risk assessment and mitigation are reviewed in the paper. Since the emphasis is on flood modelling, the related topics of flood frequency analysis are excluded, although some representative studies on extreme rainfall frequencies are briefly mentioned. The paper concludes with some perspectives on future directions in flood modelling and actions needed for sustainable flood management practices, in the country.

Ultrahigh capacitive performance of O andMgself‐dual‐doped activated carbon fromAnanas comosusleaf fiber using a redox additive‐based electrolyte

“…The low intensity of the (002) peak in ACLF‐20 indicates the presence of short‐range ordered, amorphous material. Conversely, the higher intensity of the (002) peak in ACLF‐8 and ACLF‐14 indicates the presence of microcrystalline features in the ACLF samples 47,48 …”

Fabrication of mercury (Hg) sensor based on Tire Waste (TW) carbon electrode and voltammetry technique

“…The resulting soot will be mixed with paraffin (Candle Wax) as a binder, then glued to copper wire (ETERNA) to make sensors. The sensor at treatment used HNO3 0.1N (MERC) [23]. The sensor is then electrochemically tested to determine its specific capacitance value with CV using a potentiostat (ZIVE ppi) connected to a corder and equipped with Smart Manager (SM) software, using a three-electrode system (carbon electrode from TW as the sensor), Ag/AgCl electrode as reference electrode, and graphite as auxiliary electrode).…”

“…In this study, soot was chosen as a material for making sensors because the nano size of soot causes the electrolyte to easily penetrate to the deepest part of the electrode, so that the total active ingredient in the electrode can be utilized optimally. Carbon soot is an effective, cheap and potential electrode material to replace commercial electrodes [23]. TW soot XRD diffractogram as shown in Figure 2, shows 3 peaks with intensities at angles around 36.04, 35.87 and 26.81 at 2θ.…”

Morphology‐Controlled Molybdenum Disulfide/Candle Soot Carbon Composite for High‐Performance Supercapacitor

“…In a recent review, Potphode et al, summarized the importance of carbon soot and its performance in electrochemical energy storage applications. [31] In this work, to enhance the electrochemical performance of MoS 2 , we developed a single-step strategy to synthesize MoS 2 and MoS 2 /C composites through hydrothermal synthesis method. The embedded structure of MoS 2 and carbon not only provides the way for electron transforming but also decreases the distance between the hexagonal structure of MoS 2 and electrolyte solution.…”

“…The electrochemical behavior of functionalized candle flame soot was conducted by Raj et al., which delivered a specific capacitance of 187 Fg −1 at 0.15 Ag −1 current density. In a recent review, Potphode et al., summarized the importance of carbon soot and its performance in electrochemical energy storage applications …”
