The production of low cost and environmentally friendly highperforming carbon materials is crucial for a sustainable future.Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processesdescribes a sustainable and alternative technique to produce carbonfrom biomass in water at low temperatures, a process known asHydrothermal Carbonization (HTC).
Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processespresents an overview of this new and rapidly developing field,discussing various synthetic approaches, characterization of thefinal products, and modern fields of application for of sustainablecarbon materials.
Topics covered include:
* Green carbon materials
* Porous hydrothermal carbons
* HTC for the production of valuable carbon hybridmaterials
* Functionalization of hydrothermal carbonmaterials
* Characterization of HTC materials
* Applications of HTC in modern nanotechnology: Energystorage, electrocatalysis in fuel cells, photocatalysis, gasstorage, water purification, sensors, bioapplications
* Environmental applications of HTC technology: Biocharproduction, carbon sequestration, and waste conversion
* Scale-up in HTC
Sustainable Carbon Materials from Hydrothermal Processeswill serve as a comprehensive guide for students and newcomers inthe field, as well as providing a valuable source of informationfor researchers and investors looking for alternative technologiesto convert biomass into useful products.
