Effect of the class of activating agent (inorganic vs. organic) on the structure of activated carbon materials from biomass †By Indra Neel Pulidindi, Prakash Vaithyanathan, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, Viswanathan Balasubramanian
Abstract: The impact of the class of the activating agent (inorganic Vs organic) on the structure and the crystallographic parameters of the activated carbon materials (ACMs) from biomass was studied. The stems of the waste land weed native of India, namely, Calotropis gigantea were used as a representative example for the biomass based sustainable raw material. Likewise, carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ) and oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4 …

Structure and dynamics of carbon dangling bonds in activated carbon materials from biomass†By Indra Neel Pulidindi, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, Viswanathan Balasubramanian
Abstract: Activated carbon materials are inevitable for energy-related applications. Production of such materials from biomass is sustainable. Microporous activated carbon materials with high specific surface area and pore sizes of less than 2 nm find life-saving applications apart from their utility in environmental remediation. The free electron density of these materials is tunable and is a measure of electrical conductivity that is useful for the development of green and renewable energy …

High Performance Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) Electrodes from Biomass Derived Carbon Materials †By Indra Neel Pulidindi, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, Viswanathan Balasubramanian
Abstract: Insecurity and scarcity of resources lead to war and conflict as seen in Ukraine and Gaza. To prevent the dangerous effects of resource crises, especially, energy, it is imperative to invent energy sources at a war footing.The present review article is a serious attempt in that path. Super capacitors, especially, the electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are potential energy storage devices that could be a substitute to fossil fuels. Yet, …
