A supercapacitor is an energy-storage device able to store and release energy at fast rates with extended cycle life; thus, it used in various electrical appliances. Carbon materials prepared above 800 °C of activation temperatures are generally employed as electrode material for supercapacitors. Herein, we report carbon from a low-cost petroleum waste precursor that was activated using KOH, Mg...

ABSTRACT Marine oil spill incidents create concerns about human health risks, particularly in nearshore locations such as beaches used for recreation. To improve the timeliness of risk estimates during an spill, we need to expand modelling capacity chemicals (OSCs) from predictions chemical bulk measurements Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) individual concentrations more toxic Polycyclic Arom...
