Wood‐Derived Sphere‐Like Biochar Granules as an Electrode Platform for Future Bed Electrodes

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 14, 17 July 2026.
Wood‐derived, sphere‐like granular biochar (GB) modified with NiMo is introduced as a potential cathode platform for the hydrogen evolution reaction at neutral pH for use in CO2‐reducing bioelectrochemical systems. They exhibit remarkably higher electrocatalytic activity, making wood‐derived sphere‐like GB a promising stackable cathode material for ...

Water absorption analysis on impregnated kenaf with nanosilica for epoxy/kenaf composite

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
Due to the existence of hydroxyl group from cellulose and hemicellulose in natural fibre, it has a high tendency to absorb significant amount of water. Nanosilica has high surface area due to its nanosize, which is capable to seal the fibre's pores. In this work, impregnation technique was used to fill the pores of kenaf fibre with nanosilica in order ...
