Structure and dynamics of carbon dangling bonds in activated carbon materials from biomass†
Abstract: Activated carbon materials are inevitable for energy-related applications. Production of such materials from biomass is sustainable. Microporous activated carbon materials with high specific surface area and pore sizes of less than 2 nm find life-saving applications apart from their utility in environmental remediation. The free electron density of these materials is tunable and is a measure of electrical conductivity that is useful for the development of green and renewable energy …

Transforming Carbon: The Science and Potential of Gasification
Abstract: Methanol and chemicals like urea and ammonia, which are the building blocks of many fertilizers, can be produced via the gasification process. Additionally, gasification can assist in the production of transportation fuels from biomass, coal, oil, and sands. Drying, pyrolysis, combustion, cracking, and reduction are the five distinct thermal processes that make up gasification. Drying removes moisture from the feedstock, while pyrolysis breaks down complex hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. Combustion …

Design Strategies for Sustainable Architecture and Buildings
Abstract: Sustainable architecture represents the development of an ecosystem in which humans make a balance between society-energy-ecology. Due to huge urbanization on earth, there are very uneven climate changes which result in the disruption of social, economic, and environmental impacts. The focus is on making an environmental, human, building eco-system, that can support the co-existence of all with interdependency. The increase in the demand for dwelling units increases the consumption of …
