Biochar is the solid residue that is recovered after the thermal cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Biochar has been used for many years as a soil amendment and in general soil applications. Nonetheless, biochar is far more than a mere soil amendment. In this review, we report all the non-soil applications of biochar including environmental remediation, energy storage, composites, and catalyst production. We provide a general overview of the recent uses of biochar in material science, thus presenting this cheap and waste-derived material as a high value-added and carbonaceous source.
生物炭是生物质在无氧气氛中热裂解后回收的固体残余物。生物炭作为土壤改良剂以及用于一般土壤应用已有多年历史。然而,生物炭远不止是一种单纯的土壤改良剂。在本综述中,我们报告了生物炭的所有非土壤应用,包括环境修复、能量存储、复合材料和催化剂生产。我们对生物炭在材料科学中的近期应用进行了总体概述,从而将这种廉价且源自废弃物的材料展现为一种高附加值的碳质来源。
