Nutshell-Derived Efficient Carbon Nanomaterials as a Potential Smart Electrode Material for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Production
摘要
As part of ongoing exertions by scientists to develop alternative solutions to curtail the issue of continuous emissions of greenhouse gases by the use of fossil fuels, attention has been directed toward biomassBiomass (organic matter that can be turned into useful energy). Green nanotechnology is advancing to address society's global sustainabilitySustainability disquiets by recycling a variety of industrial and bio-wastes to generate functional carbonaceous nanomaterials that include biochar and activated carbon. Biomass can be the primary source of bio-based carbon nanomaterialsNanomaterials for electrochemical energyEnergy production and storage technologies. Carbon nanomaterials derived from biomassBiomass possess diverse chemical, structural, and mechanicalMechanical characteristics that have been investigated as a carbon source due to their high surface area, configurable structure, abundance, cost-effectiveness, and cyclic and environmentally friendly nature. In this chapter, various nutshells are used as a green carbon source for the electrodeElectrode to produce the electrocatalytic hydrogen. This chapter aims to provide a thorough understanding and perspective on all of the potential uses of nutshell biomassBiomass for energyEnergy generation. We explore the latest advancements and current obstacles and possibilities for biomass materials in energy generation.
