Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processes (ePub)

The production of low cost and environmentally friendly high
performing carbon materials is crucial for a sustainable future.
Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processes
describes a sustainable and alternative technique to produce carbon
from biomass in water at low temperatures, a process known as
Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC).

Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processes
presents an overview of this new and rapidly developing field,
discussing various synthetic approaches, characterization of the
final products, and modern fields of application for of sustainable
carbon materials.

Topics covered include:

* Green carbon materials

* Porous hydrothermal carbons

* HTC for the production of valuable carbon hybrid
materials

* Functionalization of hydrothermal carbon
materials

* Characterization of HTC materials

* Applications of HTC in modern nanotechnology: Energy
storage, electrocatalysis in fuel cells, photocatalysis, gas
storage, water purification, sensors, bioapplications

* Environmental applications of HTC technology: Biochar
production, carbon sequestration, and waste conversion

* Scale-up in HTC

Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processes
will serve as a comprehensive guide for students and newcomers in
the field, as well as providing a valuable source of information
for researchers and investors looking for alternative technologies
to convert biomass into useful products.
