TLDR
ZnO-BC nanocomposite showed better sonocatalytic performance than BC and ZnO NRs owing to its huge surface area, narrow band gap and enhanced sonoluminescence phenomenon, which led to the synergetic ability of ultrasonic irradiation and catalytic activity of Zn O-BC to generate reactive species and subsequent radical reactions.About:

Redox Properties of Plant Biomass-Derived Black Carbon (Biochar)
TL;DR: Electrochemical, elemental, and spectroscopic analyses of the thermosequence chars provide evidence that the pool of redox-active moieties is dominated by electron-donating, phenolic moieties in the low-HTT chars, and by electron accepting quinones and possibly condensed aromatics in the high- HTT chars.
