本研究提出以低成本的綠色製程處理農業廢棄物菱角殼及工業廢棄物電木板，合成高比表面積且具備不同孔徑的多重孔洞碳材料，並將其應用於染料吸附及組裝超級電容器。以農業廢棄物菱殼碳為例，可以經由簡單的絕氧碳化得到初步材料後，與助活化劑及活化劑在溼式狀態下混合均勻，再經過高溫裂解其比表面積即可高達715~1431 m2g-1。將以菱角殼為原料所合成之多重孔洞碳材應用於染料吸附時，吸附甲基橙之理論飽和吸附量可達427 mg/g，吸附亞甲基藍染料則可達539 mg/g。將碳材料應用於超級電容器上，多重孔洞碳材可以在1.0 M TEABF4/PC 有機電解液環境中，達到94 F/g的電容值 (掃描速率為2 mV/s)，且在高掃描速率下 (200 mV/s) 仍可維持62% 之電容值。
工業廢棄物電木板初步碳化後則可以簡單的浸泡KOH溶液再經過高溫裂解，可以得到比表面積約 976~1659 m2g-1的多重孔洞碳材，且用於浸泡的KOH溶液也可以再次進行利用，達到循環經濟的效果。將此多重孔洞碳材應用於染料吸附，吸附甲基橙染料時理論飽和吸附量可達481 mg/g，吸附亞甲基藍染料則可達575 mg/g。組裝超級電容時，電容值可以高達97 F/g，且在高速掃描時可以維持70% 以上的電容值。
因此，本研究期望可以利用綠色化學的製程合成高比表面積之多重孔洞碳材料，如此一來不僅可以解決台灣高碳含量之農、工業廢棄物的問題，更可以將這些廢棄資源轉變為高經濟價值的活性碳，並利用於水質淨化及能量儲存等綠色用途，符合循環經濟的理念，並且具有商業價值及廣大的應用前景。

Porous carbons are used for multifarious applications nowadays (including electric storage devices, catalysis, water treatment, and so on) due to their many favorable properties, such as good conductivity, high permeability, high surface area, and an abundance of active sites. In this study, we propose to synthesize multiporous carbons (MPCs) materials with high specific surface area and wide pore sizes distribution by processing agricultural waste water-chestnut-shell biochar (WCSB) and industrial waste Bakelite via a simple and dust-free blending method. The experimental results shows that the MPCs synthesized by either WCSB or Bakelite could have a very high specific surface area of up to 1600 m2 g-1 and a high specific capacitance of up to 97 F g-1 with a good retention rate (~70%) even at 200 mV s-1 in TEABF4/PC organic electrolyte. In terms of dye adsorption, the saturation adsorption capacity of the MPCs can reach 481 mg/g for methyl orange and 575 mg/g for methylene blue. Therefore, this study expects to synthesize MPCs with high specific surface area by using green chemistry process, which not only can solve the problem of agricultural and industrial waste in Taiwan, but also can transform these waste resources into activated carbon with high economic value and be used for green applications such as water purification and energy storage, which is in line with the concept of circular economy and has commercial value and wide application prospect.
