Session: Advances in Biomass-derived Carbonaceous Materials: Fabrication, Characterization and Applications

Biomass-derived carbonaceous materials (BCMs) have been identified as the promising candidates for energy storage and environmental remediation given their affordability, tunable properties, and renewable nature. Various BCMs, including biochar, carbon black, activated carbon, 0D carbon nano dots, 1D carbon nano fibers and nano tubes, 2D graphene sheets, 3D carbon aerogel, carbon foams and other ordered carbon materials have been fabricated from biomass in the past decades. This session focuses on recent progress of BCM research. It covers the BCM fabrication and characterization as well as their applications in environmental, catalysis, energy storage devices, sensing, and other areas.
