Larches are widespread in the cooler regions of the Northern
Hemisphere. However, the abundant larch residue can be generated by
cutting and burning, resulting in resource waste and environment
pollution. Therefore, effective utilization of larch waste is a
sustainable strategy to prepare carbon materials. In our group, larch
residue can be converted into low molecular weight chemicals by phenol
liquefaction, which interacts with copolymers to prepared ordered
mesoporous carbon materials . Moreover, the carbon spheres were prepared
successfully from larch sawdust via USP . Herein, we use larch residue
as carbon source and F127 as soft template to prepare ordered porous
carbon spheres via USP. The morphology and porous structure of the
carbon spheres can be modified by controlling the precursors and F127.
Meanwhile, the carbon spheres are prepared as supercapacitor electrodes
for testing their electrochemical performance. This route explores a new
strategy for the synthesis of high-value-added products from biomass
wastes.
