Can activated carbon be used for energy production and storage?

Here we review the use of activated carbon, a highly porous graphitic form of carbon, as catalyst and electrode for for energy production and storage. The article focuses on synthesis of activated carbon, hydrogen production and storage, biodiesel production, energy recovery, and the use of machine learning.

Can activated carbon be used as electrodes in energy-storage systems?

Among carbon materials, activated carbon due to its lower production cost, versatile surface chemistry, high surface area, and feasibility of activated carbon synthesis using waste materials has drawn tremendous attention in energy-storage systems as electrodes (Ayinla et al. 2019).

Can activated carbon be used for hydrogen storage?

Carbon materials such as activated carbon due to specific textural properties can play an important role in hydrogen storage based on the physisorption mechanism (Serafin et al. 2023). Kostoglou et al. (2022) scrutinized the feasibility of the polymer-derived activated carbon in hydrogen storage and supercapacitor energy storage.

Can activated carbon derived from biomass improve energy storage?

Numerous research studies have focused on improving energy storage through activated carbon derived from biomass, but there is still substantial room for improvement.

Why is activated carbon important?

Recent advances in the application of activated carbon in different energy production and storage technologies highlight the leading role of activated carbon in tackling the environmental problems related to using fuels derived from unsustainable sources.

Why are activated carbon cathodes important?

These cathodes have ultrahigh surface area, well-tuned pore structure and high heteroatom content that facilitate Zn 2+ ion diffusion and enhanced electrochemical performance. The fabricated activated carbon materials outperform existing carbon-based materials and have great potential for use in safe and sustainable energy storage systems. 1.
