Highlights

  • Carbon-based materials, such as chars, activated carbons, one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional graphene nanosheets, have shown great potential for a wide variety of applications

  • The effect of the physicochemical changes of the adsorbent in the adsorption capacity of the compounds was determined from the equilibrium data, and the adsorbate–adsorbent affinity was evaluated by immersion enthalpy in the studied compound solutions

  • Different activated carbons were produced depending on whether a one-stage or a two-stage carbonization and activation process was used. Those produced in the one-stage process had higher specific surface areas than those synthesized in a two-stage process

Summary

Introduction

Carbon-based materials, such as chars, activated carbons, one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional graphene nanosheets, have shown great potential for a wide variety of applications. Various routes have been used to synthesize diverse structures of biomass-based carbon materials, including carbonization, hydrocarbonization or activation. The main aim of this Special Issue of C—Journal of Carbon Research—is to present the most relevant and recent insights in the field of synthesis of biomass-derived carbons for sustainable applications, from adsorption to energy storage applications.
