Preparation of desulfurization adsorbents with highly dispersed metal active sites by enriching Ni from water with Pistia Stratiotes

Weining Li et al.

Summary: The large-scale development of metal-loaded adsorbents is limited by complex preparation methods, poor dispersion of metal particles, and small specific surface area. Pistia stratiotes has a unique biological vein structure that allows it to evenly adsorb and fix nickel in its organism. The method of preparing high-performance desulfurization adsorbents from PS not only produces adsorbents with uniform and small diameter Ni nanoparticles, but also degrades heavy metals in water, contributing to a green and friendly environment.

Biomass derived carbon for supercapacitor applications: Review

Sunaina Saini et al.

Summary: Activated carbon based electrode materials show promising applications in supercapacitors, fuel cells, and batteries due to their large surface area and porous structure. Carbonaceous materials and pseudo-capacitive materials have different charge storage mechanisms, with the latter achieving higher charge storage levels but also facing challenges such as lack of conductivity. Compounding carbon-based materials with pseudo-capacitive materials is a viable solution for achieving higher energy density in supercapacitors.
