摘要: Abstract Co-impregnated biochars were fabricated by pyrolysis of spent coffee grounds (SCG) or glucose as carbon (C) sources under N2 and CO2. The formed biochar samples characterized with FE-SEM, TEM/EDS, XRD, TGA, Raman, XPS, BET, further used catalytic medium for the reduction p-nitrophenol in presence NaBH4. physicochemical characteristics significantly changed types C precursor flow gas stream. from SCG stream showed good dispersion Co nanoparticles (10–20 nm) matrix compared to that produced CO2 stream, but BET surface area was very small (4.5 m2 g−1) due pore blockage thermal degradation products. SCG-derived possessed highly porous structure CO2-assisted volatilization. In contrast, glucose-derived biochar, significant porosity occurred excess devolatilization conditions, while biochar. These contrasting results demonstrated significance crystallinity degradability precursors. performance better correlated external rather than microporosity.
