In this work, mesoporous activated carbon with high surface area was synthesized from swamp taro stalk by single step ZnCl2 activation. The synthesized activated carbon was characterized by Na2S2O3 volumetric method, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses. Under the single step ZnCl2 activation, the registered iodine number, BET surface area, total pore volume and pore diameter were 1087.57 mgg-1, 1242.26 m2g-1, 0.73cm3g-1 and 3.72 nm respectively with yield of 25.34%. SEM analysis evidenced the well-formation of porous structure. Type IV isotherm with H2 loops obtained from N2-sorption studies indicates the ink bottles shape mesoporous network structure. This research proved the successful conversion of plant waste into high grade activated carbon.

ABSTRACTProcessing of foams from bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys, using melt infiltration techniques, is reported for the first time. Foaming methods based on infiltration of two types of pattern materials are described: investment of a continuous refractory yielding very low relative density structures (5% dense relative to the BMG), and investment of a discontinuous refractory pellet bed yielding higher relative density (50–60% dense relative to the BMG). Both methods are capable of producing foam structures; however high surface area and diminished thermal conductivity, especially in lower density structures, make vitrification of the alloy difficult.

Taking the wide band gap one-dimensional (1-D) tungsten oxide nanowires as an example, we here demonstrate systematically the physical characteristics of thermally processed nanowires at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 1000°C, for the first time. Accompanied by a significant drop of specific surface area from 151 m2/g for the as-prepared nanowires to 109 m2/g and 66 m2/g subject to annealing at 400°C and 450°C, dramatically morphology evolution and phase transformation have also been observed. The nanostructured bundles became straighter, larger in diameters and shorter in length, and eventually became irregular particles with size up to 5 µm. The Brunauer-Emmett-Tettler (BET) result suggests that 400°C can be considered as a top temperature limit in nanodevice design where high surface area is important, e.g. in gas sensors. A protocol for thermally processing of these bundled tungsten nanowires has been established.
