“…In an effort to utilize carbon from waste materials, Take et al explored the possibility of utilizing macroporous HFOA generated in a thermal power plant as an electrode in a rechargeable battery. [104] The HFOA was pyrolyzed at various high temperatures under Ar and was comprised of 95 % carbon with minor traces of Fe and Ni. It was reported from the charge-discharge analysis that the pyrolyzed carbon improved the discharge capacity with a Coulombic efficiency of more than 90 %.…”

Heavy fuel oil ash (HFOA) is generated as an industrial waste material during the combustion of heavy fuel oil in power/desalination plants. With increasing energy demands, a significant volume of HFOA is generated. It is generally disposed of in landfills, causing environmental pollution, as it contains several toxic elements. Recently, efforts were made towards developing strategies for reusing industrial waste materials and creating value-added products from the waste materials. Despite significant information available in the literature on the utilization of HFOA, there is still a need for a thorough and systematic review on the characterization and utilization of HFOA in various applications. Consequently, this paper aims to present a critical review of the literature on HFOA generation, its chemical composition, physical properties, morphology, and applications. It is encouraging to note that HFOA has been used in several potential applications, such as the preparation of activated carbon and carbon nanotubes, metal recovery, environmental pollutant removal, polymer composites and construction materials, etc. However, the development of several value-added materials utilizing HFOA and its applications in other areas such as coatings, cathodic protection systems, and phase change materialswould emerge as a new topic of research. It is expected that this review will act as a precursor for further research on the use of HFOA in industrial applications. Since the use of HFOA will lead to environmental, economic, and technical benefits, research in the utilization of this industrial waste material is highly recommended.

“…In 2001 Take et al reported the use of carbon inverse-opal as a negative electrode; however, only very limited electrochemical data was provided at the time. [23] Shortly after, the synthesis and electrochemical behavior of vanadia gel inverseopal positive electrodes was demonstrated. [17] The study showed excellent behavior of the ordered macroporous structures at high current rates.…”

Several types of silicon‐based inverse‐opal films are synthesized, characterized by a range of experimental techniques, and studied in terms of electrochemical performance. Amorphous silicon inverse opals are fabricated via chemical vapor deposition. Galvanostatic cycling demonstrates that these materials possess high capacities and reasonable capacity retentions. Amorphous silicon inverse opals perform unsatisfactorily at high rates due to the low conductivity of silicon. The conductivity of silicon inverse opals can be improved by their crystallization. Nanocrystalline silicon inverse opals demonstrate much better rate capabilities but the capacities fade to zero after several cycles. Silicon–carbon composite inverse‐opal materials are synthesized by depositing a thin layer of carbon via pyrolysis of a sucrose‐based precursor onto the silicon inverse opals. The amount of carbon deposited proves to be insufficient to stabilize the structures and silicon–carbon composites demonstrate unsatisfactory electrochemical behavior. Carbon inverse opals are coated with amorphous silicon producing another type of macroporous composite. These electrodes demonstrate significant improvement both in capacity retentions and in rate capabilities. The inner carbon matrix not only increases the material conductivity but also results in lower silicon pulverization during cycling.

“…In order to fabricate such electrochemical systems, the use of the inverse opal materials is very attractive. The preparation of the inverse opal carbon electrode has been reported since the first report of Take et al, 32,33 Yu et al,34 Moriguchi et al, 35 and Chai et al 36 However, most of the studies of the inverse opal materials have just used their powders.More recently, inverse opal carbon ͑IOC͒ electrodes derived from phenol resin for lithium ion batteries have been reported by Lee et al 41 and Ergang et al 42 The IOC electrodes themselves, in the absence of a binder and a conductive reagent, exhibited a higher discharge capacity compared to conventional bulk carbon powder electrodes, and based on this result they fabricated a threedimensional battery system. Furthermore, Moriguchi et al 35,43 also fabricated IOCs for electric double-layer capacitors ͑EDLCs͒ and investigated their properties in a sulfuric acid solution, mainly by means of cyclic voltammetry.…”

Self-standing and macroporous carbon materials were prepared by using silica opals ͑colloidal crystal͒ as a template. Poly͑furfuryl alcohol͒ was synthesized in the interstice of the silica colloidal crystals, followed by carbonization at 1000°C. The silica templates were etched off to give inverse opal carbons. The inverse opal carbons were characterized by scanning electron micrograph ͑SEM͒, reflection spectroscopy, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, direct current conductivity, and N 2 -adsorption/desorption experiments. The SEM images and the reflection spectra indicated periodic porous structures that were negative structures of the silica opal templates. The inverse opal carbons were hard carbons, mainly consisting of amorphous incompletely graphitized structures, and have electronic conductivity of 10 2 S cm −1 . The nitrogen adosorption/desorption experiments clarified that the carbons have large N 2 -BET ͑Brunauer-Emmett-Teller͒ specific surface area resulting from a lot of mesopores, in addition to macropores based on the silica templates. Electric double-layer charging and discharging of the carbons were studied in a tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate/propylene carbonate solution. The electric double-layer gravimetric capacitance and the coulombic efficiency of the inverse opal carbon electrodes in the solution increased with a decrease in the diameter of the silica spheres used for the opal templates and became superior to those of a typical activated carbon.The design and fabrication of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces, up to the nanometer level in order to increase the electron transfer rates and electric double-layer capacitance, are fascinating domains of current research in electrochemical energy conversion systems. 1,2 In the electrochemical systems, the interface needs to be fabricated so as to form cocontinuous phases of the electrode ͑electron-conducting͒ and electrolyte ͑ion-conducting͒ materials with a large contact area. Much interest in nanostructured materials has also stimulated the availability of nanostructured electrodes. Examples are seen in the fabrication of nanostructured electrodes and estimation of their electrochemical properties in various electrochemical systems. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Opal materials, which comprise a close-packed colloidal crystal of monodispersed spheres, have attracted much attention because of their photonic bandgap structure. 10-16 There also have been a number of studies on inverse opal materials fabricated by using the opal materials as a template. 17-31 Many research groups have suggested their applications, for example, to photonic crystal, catalysis, sensing, and separations, because the inverse opal structure itself possesses not only a three-dimensionally periodic structure but also large surface area per unit volume. Yan et al. 19 and Blanford et al. 20 referred to this class of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous materials as "3DOM" material.Recently, the inverse opal materials have been applied to electroch...
