Abstract

AbstractUrbanization and industrialization generate vast amounts of solid waste, posing significant threats to the biotic and abiotic components of the environment. Solid wastes-derived carbonaceous catalysts (SW-CCs) represent an effective strategy for resource utilization, and SW-CCs are gradually applied in environmental remediation and energy fields. However, the effects of the properties of SW-CCs on their catalytic activity remain inadequately understood. A comprehensive review of the applications of SW-CCs in environmental remediation and energy fields is yet to be achieved. It is necessary to systematically review the latest research progress of SW-CCs in environmental remediation and energy fields. First of all, this review summarizes the influences of various factors on the properties of SW-CCs and how these properties affect the catalytic activity. Subsequently, it explores the recent research progress and existing issues in the applications of SW-CCs in environmental remediation (persulfate activation, photocatalysis, and Fenton-like oxidation) and the energy sector (H2 production, biodiesel production, and CO2 conversion). Finally, future research prospects and recommendations are provided to facilitate further development and application of SW-CCs. This review offers new insights into the resource utilization of solid waste and the development of efficient and practical carbonaceous catalysts. Graphical Abstract
