项目摘要
A major scientific challenge facing today’s world is the ever-increasing demand for natural resources, and the need to manage the negative impact from energy and raw materials production on the environment. The challenge is particularly relevant to Canada where natural resources are fundamentally important to our socio-economic and environmental wellbeing. Directly addressing this challenge, the proposed research program will focus on innovative technologies that maximize the value of natural resources and enhance sustainability. Specifically, we will build technological foundations for novel processes that produce high-performance, low-cost nanoporous carbon materials from natural precursors (e.g. wood of maple or bamboo).
Nanoporous carbon materials have been explored for applications from the traditional separation and catalysis to emerging areas like supercapacitors. Readily accessible micropores (< 2nm), conductive carbon matrix and functional carbon surface are key to their performance. Pore accessibility depends on the dimension, size distribution and interconnectivity of pores. A popular strategy for creating nanoporous carbons with defined pore and matrix structures has been to use sp2-bonded carbon atoms as building blocks via chemical-physical routes—a bottom-up approach. However, their large-scale commercial adaptation has been prevented by process complexity coupled with high costs. We will adopt a different, top-down strategy, by creating high-performance nanoporous carbons from biomass with desirable inherent macroporous and complementing it with microporosity and functional surface groups. We have successfully applied this approach to petroleum coke — a by-product produced in the Canadian oilsand industry. Using the industrial by-product, we were able to establish process conditions to produce of a set of nanoporous carbons with unique chemical functionalities and outstanding performance in mercury vapour capture and energy storage in supercapacitors. In the proposed research program, we will shift our focus to nature from the industrial wasteyard, continuing to pursue novel forms and functions of nanoporous carbon for sustainable energy and environmental applications.
The anticipated technological and scientific advances can have a significant socio-economic and environmental impact on multiple industrial sectors and benefit society as a whole. First, the biochar-based nanoporous carbons created with these new will enable the next generation of electrical energy storage (EES) devices that are affordable, rapid-charging, long-lived and have high energy and power density. These new EES devices have the potential to significantly enhance alternative energy initiatives - wind power, solar energy, and electrical vehicles. Second, the biochar-based nanoporous carbons optimized for fast ion transport open the possibility of many value-added application for industries, including precious metal recovery, contaminated site remediation, metal value reclamation from electronic waste, new catalysts and carbon dioxide gas separation for sequestration. Third, the new knowledge to be discovered from this research program will help provide new paradigms on biochar utilization. Although the amount of biomass-derived carbon to be used in supercapacitors is likely negligible compared with the amount of biomass available, massive utilization of biochar enabled by many new applications could potentially represent a viable option for carbon sequestration and storage, helping mitigate climate change. Moreover, the proposed program will contribute directly to the education of next generation of engineering researchers and innovators.
当今世界面临的一个重大科学挑战是对自然资源不断增长的需求,以及管理能源和原材料生产对环境的负面影响的需要。这一挑战与加拿大尤其相关,因为加拿大的自然资源对我们的社会经济和环境福祉至关重要。为了直接应对这一挑战,拟议的研究项目将专注于创新技术,使自然资源的价值最大化,并提高可持续性。具体来说,我们将为从天然前体(如枫木或竹木)生产高性能、低成本纳米多孔碳材料的新工艺建立技术基础。
