Preparation of Activated Carbon with Ultra-high specific surface area Derived from waste biomass for Storage Gaseous Energy Resources
Short Introductive summary
Efficient storage of gaseous energy resources remains a key challenge for sustainable and decentralized energy systems due to their intrinsically low volumetric energy density under ambient conditions. Adsorptive storage using porous materials offers a promising approach to achieve high-density storage under moderate pressure and near-ambient temperatures by utilizing gas–solid interactions within tailored pore structures. Among various adsorbents, porous carbon materials are particularly attractive owing to their structural tunability, chemical stability, and cost-effectiveness. Storage performance is strongly governed by material properties such as specific surface area, pore size distribution, and the density of adsorption sites. Ultramicropores (1–2 nm) enhance adsorption potential through confinement effects, while an ultra-high specific surface area is essential for maximizing accessible adsorption sites and overall storage capacity. In this context, this study presents the preparation of activated carbon with ultra-high specific surface area derived from coffee residues, aiming to develop efficient adsorbents for high-density storage of gaseous energy resources.
