• Porous N,P-doped carbon from coconut shells with high electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction: Alternative to Pt-C for alkaline fuel cells (2017, methodology): “Potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) have been reported as typical dehydrating agents for chemical activation [41], [42], [43].”
• Production of high surface area mesoporous activated carbons from waste biomass using hydrogen peroxide-mediated hydrothermal treatment for adsorption applications (2015, background): “have shown that solubility of ZnCl2 is enhanced under acidic conditions [70].”
