Biochar aerogel-based electrocatalyst towards efficient oxygen evolution in acidic media

Hui, Bin; Chen, Hongjiao; Zhou, Chengfeng; Cai, Liping; Zhang, Kewei; Quan, Fengyu; Yang, Dongjiang

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00163-0

The controllable synthesis of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst is an urgent need to advance the development of sustainable energy conversion and storage. However, the OER efficiency in acidic media is seriously hindered by slow reaction kinetics. The traditional acidic OER...

Towards predicting biochar impacts on plant-available soil nitrogen content

Phillips, Claire L.; Meyer, Kylie M.; Garcia-Jaramillo, Manuel; Weidman, Clara S.; Stewart, Catherine E.; Wanzek, Thomas; Grusak, Michael A.; Watts, Donald W.; Novak, Jeff; Trippe, Kristin M.

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00137-2

Biochars can improve soil health but have been widely shown to reduce plant-available nitrogen (N) owing to their high carbon (C) content, which stimulates microbial N-immobilization. However, because biochars contain large amounts of C that are not microbially available, their total elemental...

High performance removal of sulfamethoxazole using large specific area of biochar derived from corncob xylose residue

Li, Yinxue; Shang, Hongru; Cao, Yongna; Yang, Chunhui; Feng, Yujie; Yu, Yanling

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-021-00128-9

To remove antibiotics from waste water, an alkali active porous biochar, 850BC, was prepared from corncob xylose residue. In preparation, NaOH dipping was used for silicon removal and KOH activation was operated at 850℃. Further characterization containing BET, SEM, and FTIR were confirmed. 850BC...

Effects of low molecular weight organic acids on aggregation behavior of biochar colloids at acid and neutral conditions

Wang, Yang; Wang, Changxi; Xiong, Jiayi; Zhang, Qianru; Shang, Jianying

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00142-5

Low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), as active components in the rhizosphere carbon cycling, may influence the environmental behaviors of biochar colloids. This study selected the pine-wood and wheat-straw biochars (PB and WB) as two typical biochars. The effects of typical LMWOAs (oxalic...

Biochar mitigates the biotoxicity of heavy metals in livestock manure during composting

Chen, Xiaomeng; Du, Zhuang; Liu, Dan; Wang, Liqin; Pan, Chaonan; Wei, Zimin; Jia, Liming; Zhao, Ran

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00174-x

The addition of biochar could mitigate the bioavailability of heavy metals during livestock manure composting. However, the main action mechanism of biochar, such as how it worked, was ambiguous. Therefore, in this study, materials (biochar, alkali modified biochar, pretreated cotton ball) were...

A quantitative evaluation of the biochar’s influence on plant disease suppress: a global meta-analysis

Yang, Yuheng; Chen, Tongtong; Xiao, Ran; Chen, Xinping; Zhang, Tong

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00164-z

Numerous studies have demonstrated that soil applications of biochar contribute to plant disease suppression and growth promotion. Here, we quantitatively evaluated the performance of biochars on plant disease suppression and production using meta-analysis of literature data. The results...

Journal Article

The stability of carbon from a maize-derived hydrochar as a function of fractionation and hydrothermal carbonization temperature in a Podzol

de Jager, Megan; Schröter, Frank; Wark, Michael; Giani, Luise

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00175-w

Hydrochar (HC) produced by the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of typically wet biomass is generally considered to be less effective for carbon (C) sequestration in soils compared to biochar (BC) by pyrolysis, due to a higher content of more easily decomposable C. Although the recalcitrance of...

Preparation and characterization of MgO hybrid biochar and its mechanism for high efficient recovery of phosphorus from aqueous media

Fang, Yueru; Ali, Amjad; Gao, Yuxi; Zhao, Peng; Li, Ronghua; Li, Xianxian; Liu, Junxi; Luo, Yuan; Peng, Yaru; Wang, Hailong; Liu, Hongbin; Zhang, Zengqiang; Pan, Junting

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00171-0

Conversion of organic waste into engineered metal-biochar composite is an effective way of enhancing biochar’s efficiency for adsorptive capture of phosphorus (P) from aqueous media. Thus, various strategies have been created for the production of metal-biochar composites; however, the complex...

Amending a tropical Arenosol: increasing shares of biochar and clay improve the nutrient sorption capacity

Beusch, Christine; Melzer, Dennis; Cierjacks, Arne; Kaupenjohann, Martin

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-022-00135-4

Tropical Arenosols may be challenging for agricultural use, particularly in semi-arid regions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the addition of increasing shares of biochar and clay on the nutrient sorption capacity of a tropical Arenosol. In batch equilibrium experiments, the...

Biochar and soil properties limit the phytoavailability of lead and cadmium by Brassica chinensis L. in contaminated soils

Houssou, Assa Albert; Jeyakumar, Paramsothy; Niazi, Nabeel Khan; Van Zwieten, Lukas; Li, Xiang; Huang, Lianxi; Wei, Lan; Zheng, Xiaodong; Huang, Qing; Huang, Yufen; Huang, Xianzhi; Wang, Hailong; Liu, Zhongzhen; Huang, Zhenrui

2022 Biochar

doi:10.1007/s42773-021-00126-x

The current study investigated the effect of biochars derived from cinnamomum woodchip, garden waste and mulberry woodchip on soil phytoavailable lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) pools, and their uptake by Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.). The biochars were produced at 450 °C of pyrolysis...
