Abstract
Nanoporous carbons are carbonaceous materials that contain mainly micropores and/or mesopores as defined by IUPAC. They are widely used as adsorbents, catalyst supports, membrane materials and electrodes for battery and capacitors. Nanoporous carbons can be synthesized by two different methods: carbonization and activation of carbon-containing materials; and the template approach. A brief review of synthesis of activated carbons and ordered mesoporous carbons will be given. The new development of producing nanopoprus carbons from biomass will be introduced. This presentation will focus on characterization and application of nanoporous carbons as adsorbents for gases and liquids. Separation of carbon dioxide from methane and nitrogen are important in energy production and environmental protection. Nanoporous carbons also find unique applications in separating organic molecules in aqueous solutions. The applications of nanoporous carbons in a membrane process for hydrogen separation and porous carbon electrodes for superapacitors will also be discussed briefly.
Biography
Dr. Shuguang Deng is the Bob Davis professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at New Mexico State University, USA. He received his B.S. and M.S. from Zhejiang University, China in 1984 and 1987, respectively, and his Ph.D. from University of Cincinnati in 1996. Dr. Deng has worked as a research manager in Nanjing Refinery, SINOPEC, China in 1987-1992 and a lead research engineer in The BOC Group Technical Center in Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA in 1996-2002. Prof. Deng joined the faculty of chemical engineering at New Mexico State University in 2003. Prof. Deng’s current research focuses on advanced materials for renewable energy and clean water applications. The energy research projects in his group include algal biofuels, hydrogen storage, carbon nanotubes and graphene based organic solar cells. Dr. Deng has published 120+ journal papers, 20 patents, and has ~1400 ISI citations. Dr. Deng has received numerous awards for his outstanding scholarly achievements. Most recently, Dr. Deng was awarded the Fulbright distinguished chair in energy conservation.
