Biomass-derived porous carbon materials have drawn considerable attention due to their natural abundance and low cost. In this work, nitrogen-doped porous carbons with high nitrogen content and large surface areas were designed and prepared from cottonseed hull and cattail. The two plant-based biomass compositions are similar, but the structures are very different, generating distinctly different property and performance of the prepared carbon materials. NRPC-112 has good electrochemical properties, while CN800 has good adsorption properties. By comparing the microstructure differences between the two starting materials, it was found that the structure of the raw materials would significantly affect the properties and performance of the materials. The work provided an important theoretical basis and reference for the selection of bio-resources for preparing carbon material. It is also important for choosing the appropriate synthesis method, process optimization, and application scenarios.

Carbon materials have been attracting intensive attention especially after the discoveries of fullerenes in 1985 and graphene in 2004. Our aim is to develop an efficient, low-cost and large-scale synthesis method of a carbon material called porous carbon, which is a collection of nanoscale mono- and multi-layer graphene flakes. This work presents the method of producing porous carbon and the capability of electromagnetic shielding of a typical commercial paint reinforced by the fabricated carbon material.

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon materials have been synthesized by using melamine-formaldehyde resin as carbon precursor and SBA-15 as a removable template. The structure of the materials was investigated by X-ray diffraction, BET specific surface area analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. X-ray and BET studies confirmed that a pore nanostructure is inherited from the silica templates. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed N atoms are strongly bonded in the carbon structure in heterocycles or nitrile functions. These mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon materials exhibits textural properties with BET surface areas ranging between 400 and 600 m2/g and uniform pore size(3.9 nm). The mechanism of carbonization process is studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The ratio of melamine/formaldehyde plays an important role during the carbonization process for the surface areas and textural properties, and element analysis reveals that the nitrogen content of the mesoporous carbon materials is as high as 10wt%.
