Metal-Supported Biochar Catalysts for Sustainable Biorefinery, Electrocatalysis, and Energy Storage Applications: A Review

Ruben Ramos et al.

Summary: Biochar is a carbon-based bio-material derived from the thermochemical conversion of biomass. By activating or functionalizing biochar, its physicochemical and functional properties can be improved. In the context of green and sustainable development, activated and functionalized biochar can serve as catalysts or catalyst supports for the chemical transformation of bioproducts. This review focuses on the production/activation/functionalization of metal-supported biochar and discusses their potential as promising catalysts for bioenergy and bioproducts production.

CNT-ZnO Core-Shell Photoanodes for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Vasu Prasad Prasadam et al.

Summary: Solar-driven water splitting is a promising way to obtain clean H-2 energy, and the photoelectrochemical approach has attracted significant interest. The oxygen evolution reaction is seen as the stage that limits performance in this technology, highlighting the need for innovative anode materials. Metal oxide semiconductors are relevant in this respect due to their cost-effectiveness and widespread availability. In this study, a combination of chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition was used to synthesize randomly oriented CNT-ZnO core-shell nanostructures, forming a porous coating that adheres well. Compared to directly coated ZnO on Si, the porous structure allows for a larger interface area with the electrolyte, resulting in a 458% increase in photocurrent density under simulated solar light. The photoelectrochemical characterization attributes this performance enhancement to the effective electron withdrawal along the carbon nanotubes (CNTs), leading to a decrease in the onset potential. As for durability, the CNT-ZnO core-shell structure exhibits enhanced photo-corrosion stability for 8 hours under illumination and with a voltage bias.
