Phase Diagram‐Guided Molten Salt Engineering of Biocarbon Pores at Low Temperatures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Pore structure engineering of biocarbon is crucial for enhancing its performance. Herein, a phase diagram‐guided molten salt activation method is systematically developed to prepare biocarbon with a tunable pore structure at low temperature (500 °C). This strategy incorporates key activation variables on the phase diagram of binary salts, including salt type, ratio, phase partition, and operating temperature. Among various salts, ZnCl 2 with a low melting point (≈290 °C) is selected as the “pioneering” primary salt to swell biomass precursor and create porous channels conducive to the ion diffusion of secondary salts. Based on the liquid‐solid equilibrium curve, specific amounts of secondary salts can be dissolved into molten ZnCl 2 , facilitating the delivery of secondary salt ions to the inner active sites. The carefully selected secondary salts with varied solubility, reactivity, and ionic sizes further enhance pore creation (reaching a specific surface area of 2491 m 2 g −1 ) and regulate pore sizes by catalytic reactions and pore filling. The understanding of the underlying ion diffusion and pore evolution mechanism (formation, growth, and stabilization) in binary molten salt systems provides a unique and versatile guide for producing biocarbon with tunable pore structure at low temperatures, supporting applications including energy storage and carbon capture.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
