TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the thermodynamic behavior of pyrolysis in cattle manure and revealed the complex mechanism of cattle manure pyrotechnics using TGA experiments with six different heating rates, e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80°C min −1.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the main factors determining the parameters of ZnO films are the growth temperature and the indium concentration, and that the growth temperatures of 625-675 K, indium doping levels of 1-1.5 at% and precursor concentrations of 0.1-0.2 mol 1−1 are preferable to achieve ZnOs with optical and structural qualities as required for solar cell applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an effective synthetic method that utilizes waste tires as the precursor to prepare the activated carbon electrodes by pyrolysis and chemical activation processes and investigate the dependence of the specific capacitance and the rate capability upon the physical properties (such as porosity) of activated carbon electrode.
Abstract: It is important to address the challenges posed with the ever-increasing demand for energy supply and environmental sustainability. Activated carbon, which is the common material for commercial supercapacitor electrodes, is currently derived from petroleum-based precursors. This paper presents an effective synthetic method that utilizes waste tires as the precursor to prepare the activated carbon electrodes by the pyrolysis and chemical activation processes. Adjusting the activation parameters can tailor multiple physical properties of the resulting activated carbon, which in turns tunes the performance of the activated carbon electrode. Statistical multiple linear regression and stepwise regression methods are employed to investigate the dependence of the specific capacitance and the rate capability upon the physical properties (such as porosity) of the activated carbon electrode. The specific capacitance of activated carbon electrode is controlled by the micropore volume but independent of the mesopores...
