Cotton-derived three-dimensional carbon fiber aerogel with hollow nanocapsules and ultrahigh adsorption efficiency in dynamic sewage treatment system
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Mar 8:130563. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130563. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn ultralight 3D carbon fiber aerogel with good flexibility is developed via soaking cotton in water and then calcinating at a high temperature. This cotton-derived carbon material is constituted by amorphous carbon and retains slight oxygen-containing groups. Besides, a lot of hollow carbon nanocapsules are yielded on the inside surface, resulting in abundant micropores and mesopores. Systemic investigations explore the molecular transformation from cotton to carbon fiber, and the formation of carbon nanocapsules. In t...

Machine learning-aided inverse design for biogas upgrading through biological CO < sub > 2 < /sub > conversion
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Mar 8:130549. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130549. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe biogas upgrading process through bioconversion of CO2 to CH4 by hydrogenotrophic methanogens is an attractive strategy for energy decarbonation. Many studies have optimized operational parameters to improve key performance indicators such as CH4% and H2 utilization efficiency. However, inconsistent laboratory conditions make it challenging to compare results. Existing models for analyzing operating conditions can only assess the impact of individual conditions and lack the ability to simultaneously optimize multiple...
