Biochar is a renewable, carbon-based material derived from the pyrolysis of waste biomass. Research into the properties and applications of biochar is becoming increasingly popular due to its potential to replace carbon materials derived from non-renewable sources.
This reference text covers the latest developments in biochar materials research. Emerging and innovative applications of biochar materials are discussed, and all aspects of the field are covered, from production to applications, including details on the techniques used. There is a particular focus on biochar as a material for composites and sensors, including the mechanical and electrical properties of composites, and various types of sensors.
This is the first book to cover emerging applications of biochar as an innovative, versatile, carbon-based renewable material, beyond its traditional uses in agriculture. It is a valuable reference for all researchers in the fields of biochar and carbon materials, including industry practitioners.
