N-enriched porous carbons have played an important part in CO2 adsorption application thanks to their abundant porosity, high stability and tailorable surface properties while still suffering from a non-efficient and high-cost synthesis method. Herein, a series of N-doped porous carbons were prepared by a facile one-pot KOH activating strategy from commercial urea formaldehyde resin (UF). The textural properties and nitrogen content of the N-doped carbons were carefully controlled by the activating temperature and KOH/UF mass ratios. As-prepared N-doped carbons show 3D block-shaped morphology, the BET surface area of up to 980 m2/g together with a pore volume of 0.52 cm3/g …

Electrical power system abnormalities may have several negative consequences on its stable operation. As a result, preserving its stability under such operational states has become an ongoing challenge for power engineers. PSSs are created as auxiliary controllers to address the instability issues produced upon disturbances. They dampen the oscillations induced by the disturbances by giving the system the necessary damping torque. This research aims at presenting a comprehensive study for the optimum tuning of power system stabilizer (PSS) of different structures. This aim is accomplished with the help of a novel modified optimization algorithm called Quantum Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer. …

This paper presents results that show the effect of hydrothermal carbonization and subsequent cold plasma jet treatment with helium and argon on the structure and sorption properties of a material—spent brewery grain. Treatment of activated carbon, with a cold atmospheric plasma jet, was used comparatively. The effect of activation on the pore structure of the materials was carried out by the volumetric method at low pressure (N2, 77 K). The specific surface area as well as the total pore volume, average pore size, and pore size distribution were determined using different theoretical models. A high improvement in the sorption capacity …
