Biochar based catalysts for the abatement of emerging pollutants: A review
Open accessAbstract
Biochar has emerged as a new class of biomass-derived functional materials that can be obtained using a plethora of thermochemical conversion techniques. Biochar-based environmental catalysts have potential applications toward a positive, planet-level impact. Here, recent observations in the activated conversions of emerging contaminants are reviewed, highlighting the most influential advancements, including metal-free processes. The status quo of the underlying interaction mechanisms are summarized, revealing the active functional moieties, persistent free radicals, graphitic degree and electron transfer capacity collectively and synergistically regulate the catalytic potency. These remarkable features convey biochar's high activity and flexibility into viable chemo-redox, photo-, bio-, sono-, and electrocatalysis. Advanced coupling processes and some perspectives on future possibilities are proposed at the end.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
