Journal ArticleDOI
Study of the thermal behavior, kinetics, and product characterization of biomass and low-density polyethylene co-pyrolysis by thermogravimetric analysis and pyrolysis-GC/MS
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermal decomposition behavior and kinetics, as well as the product distribution, of the co-pyrolysis of biomass (cellulose and pine sawdust) and plastic (LDPE) both with and without a catalyst (HZSM-5).
Journal ArticleDOI
Porous carbon nanofiber derived from a waste biomass as anode material in lithium-ion batteries
Lei Tao,Lei Tao,Yuanbo Huang,Yunwu Zheng,Xiaoqin Yang,Can Liu,Mingwei Di,Siriporn Larpkiattaworn,Mark R. Nimlos,Zhifeng Zheng,Zhifeng Zheng +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the entire process chain from raw biomass to carbon nanofiber (CNF) to high functioning lithium ion batteries (LIB) have been followed to evaluate the use of renewable materials for components of energy storage device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative study on pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis upgrading of biomass model compounds: Thermochemical behaviors, kinetics, and aromatic hydrocarbon formation
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal stability of hemicellulose was the worst, while that of cellulose was higher with a narrow range of pyrolysis temperatures and generated a higher char yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upgrading agricultural biomass for sustainable energy storage: Bioprocessing, electrochemistry, mechanism
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical and in-depth analysis to establish the communication between different scientific disciplines of this topic and to elucidate the interplay between agricultural waste biomass science and materials electrochemistry in batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible anode materials for lithium-ion batteries derived from waste biomass-based carbon nanofibers: I. Effect of carbonization temperature
Lei Tao,Lei Tao,Yuanbo Huang,Xiaoqin Yang,Yunwu Zheng,Can Liu,Mingwei Di,Zhifeng Zheng,Zhifeng Zheng +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass ratio of the liquefying process and the effects of the high temperature carbonization process at 1000, 1500 and 2000 °C were investigated, and the morphology, structural properties and specific surface area of carbon nanofibers derived from a waste biomass (walnut shells) were investigated.
