Carbon chemistry

Try these in perplexity 'Labs' if you're interested in the cutting edge of 'Carbon negative' biochar energy applications:

"ceramic biochar Mn MOF for solid state battery electrolytes"

"steam activated bamboo biochar for Mn MOF Hydrogen storage at ambient temperatures"

then "bonding characteristics". I was particularly impressed with the increased H2 bonding sites on the biochar which also stabilises the H2 bonding to Mn oxides though this intel is definitely debatable.

The competition is h2mof.com

"top 10 academic research papers on steam activated bamboo biochar anodes"

 an 'aha' moment, using perplexity to rank academic research papers based on a variety of factors

"steam activated bamboo biochar anode comparison to other anode materials".

Could this be the end of the graphite anode industry?

Also, KOH activation was beaten on cost and sustainability compared to steam activation (but not surface area, which is still excellent with steam activation). Once again - debatable.

The main impetus for these searches is to use Earth abundant (mainly in the tropics) and fastest CO2 accumulating plants, bamboo, for Carbon removal in tech, with an Earth abundant mineral, Manganese (Mn) with high redox potential (and no rare Earth monopoly) for energy storage. The use of ceramics with activated biochar based MOFs is on the cutting edge in my opinion. Not sure what the Carbon footprint and water footprint of mining clay is, but it's probably a lot cleaner than mining many other minerals.

Have fun, and I would suggest using the research as a starting point for further academic research (aka reading real academic research papers).

Still grappling with the context problem for the paper references.

There are other AI research software platforms that address this issue but are not as advanced as the biggest Chatbot on the Planet.
