Project summary:
The main SuNaMa project goal - is to develop innovative, high-performance, highly conductive, electrocatalytically active, durable, cost-effective, and high surface area nanocarbon materials with controlled pore size distribution from the waste of wood industry, biorefineries, as well the pulp and paper industry for their application as supercapacitor and batteries electrodes and as catalysts for fuel cells.
Importance to the societies - the created commercially viable, environmentally friendly and effective bio-based carbon materials will be potential candidates to be employed in low carbon energy technologies such as ultracapacitors, metal-air batteries and fuel cells. They would substitute expensive carbide-derived carbons, carbon nanotubes and graphene. This would represent a significant breakthrough in the renewable and low-carbon energy technology sector and exponentially widen the market with an environmentally friendly, low-cost technology with a substantial impact on reducing CO2 emission as well the environmental hazard produced various industries.
