The weathering of rocks naturally creates abundant pore structures on their surfaces. Drawing inspiration from this, we present a simple yet effective approach-combining hydrothermal carbonization and pyrolysis carbonization-to synthesize multivalent vanadium oxide (VO) quantum dot-enhanced nitrogen- and sulfur-doped hierarchical porous carbon materials derived from waste biomass of eggshell membranes. These carbon materials, termed VO-S@CESM, are used as electrodes for supercapacitors.

However, the effect of CFB boiler load on pollutant emissions such as NO still needs to be clarified. In this paper, the NO emission characteristics of two industrial-scale CFB boilers within a wide load range (35%-100%) were further analyzed by using a comprehensive one-dimensional, two-phase CFB mathematical model.
