Hydrogen and Carbon Nanotubes from Pyrolysis-Catalysis of Waste Plastics: A Review

Paul T. Williams

Summary: Europe generates over 27 million tonnes of waste plastics annually, which is considered a significant potential resource. Research has focused on producing liquid fuels and aromatic chemicals through pyrolysis-catalysis, as well as hydrogen production via pyrolysis coupled with catalytic steam reforming. Waste plastics have also been explored as a source for carbon nanotubes.

Biomass-derived activated carbons with extremely narrow pore size distribution via eco-friendly synthesis for supercapacitor application

Kotchaphan Kanjana et al.

Summary: Activated carbons produced from rubber seed shell, durian shell, and palm petiole via an eco-friendly self-activation method showed promising properties for supercapacitor application. The highest specific surface area and specific capacitance were obtained from palm petiole and durian shell activated carbons, attributing to their narrow pore size distribution and excellent charge storage balance. This study successfully demonstrated a better route to produce an AC-based supercapacitor electrode with comparable values to those reported in the literature.
