Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the transformation of Kraft lignin through nitric acid treatment and carbonization, aiming to create high-value carbon materials due to lignin's high carbon content.
- - Nitric acid effectively nitrates and depolymerizes lignin at moderate temperatures, reducing its molecular weight significantly from 4371 g/mol to 767 g/mol, and forming nitrogen-doped carbon structures after carbonization.
- - The resulting nitrogen-doped materials maintain stable nitrogen content and exhibit improved electrocatalytic properties, making the process cost-efficient and eliminating the need for additional catalysts or purification steps.
