ABSTRACT
Nano-biochar, characterized by its environmentally friendly nature and unique nanostructure, offers a promising avenue for sustainable carbon materials. With its small particle size, large specific surface area, abundant functional groups and tunable pore structure, nano-biochar stands out due to its distinct physical and chemical properties compared to conventional biochar. This paper aims to provide an in-depth exploration of nano-biochar, covering its sources, transformation mechanisms, properties, applications, and areas requiring further research. The discussion begins with an overview of biomass sources for nano-biochar production and the conversion processes involved. Subsequently, primary synthesis methods and strategies for functionalization enhancement are examined. Furthermore, the applications of nano-biochar in catalysis, energy storage, and pollutant adsorption and degradation are explored and enhanced in various fields.
