Journal ArticleDOI
High surface area activated carbon from rice husk as a high performance supercapacitor electrode
Ellie Yi Lih Teo,Lingeswarran Muniandy,Eng-Poh Ng,Farook Adam,Abdul Rahman Mohamed,Rajan Jose,Kwok Feng Chong +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported on the application of high surface area activated carbon (AC) derived from rice husks as a supercapacitor electrode, which was free from Bronsted or Lewis acid sites, thus making the electrical double layer capacitance as the main charge storage mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis and characterization of high purity mixed microporous/mesoporous activated carbon from rice husk using chemical activation with NaOH and KOH
TL;DR: In this paper, an Activated Carbon (AC) with high purity and surface area was synthesized from rice husk (RH) using alkali leaching at room temperature, and the maximum surface area obtained from the BET analysis was 2696m2g−1 for the KOH activated carbon at 850°C with an impregnation ratio of 1:5 under nitrogen flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The utilization of rice husk silica as a catalyst: Review and recent progress
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the recent development and utilization of silica from rice husk (RH) for the immobilization of transition metals and organic moieties and use 3-(Chloropropyl)triethoxy-silane (CPTES) as a bridge to link the organic mixtures to the silica matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indium incorporated silica from rice husk and its catalytic activity
Adil Elhag Ahmed,Farook Adam +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a rice husk ash supported indium (RHA-In) catalyst was synthesized by direct incorporation of indium ions on to rice hulls ash silica at ordinary temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple template-free sol–gel synthesis of spherical nanosilica from agricultural biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, mesoporous silica nanoparticles with a spherical morphology have been synthesized from rice husk by a simple, template-free synthetic approach, which was carried out via sol-gel technique at ambient condition.
