Modified biochar: synthesis and mechanism for removal of environmental heavy metals

Zhixin Liu, Ziyi Xu, Linfeng Xu et al. · 18 Jun 2022

Abstract With social progress and industrial development, heavy metal pollution in water and soils environment is becoming more serious. Although biochar is a low-cost and environmentally friendly adsorbent for heavy metal ions, its adsorption and immobilization efficiency still need to be improved. As an upgraded version of biochar, modified biochar has attracted extensive attention in…

Lignin derived carbon materials: current status and future trends

Wenli Zhang, Xueqing Qiu, Caiwei Wang et al. · 29 Jul 2022

Abstract Developing novel techniques to convert lignin into sustainable chemicals and functional materials is a critical route toward the high-value utilization of lignocellulosic biomass. Lignin-derived carbon materials hold great promise for applications in energy and chemical engineering, catalysis and environmental remediation. In this review, the state-of-art sciences and technologies for controllable synthesis of lignin-derived carbon…

Engineered biochar for environmental decontamination in aquatic and soil systems: a review

Hanbo Chen, Yurong Gao, Jianhong Li et al. · 18 Jun 2022

Abstract Contamination of aquatic and soil systems by organic and inorganic pollutants has become a serious issue of concern worldwide. Viable and cost-effective solutions are urgently needed to mitigate the negative impacts of diverse pollutants on the environment and human health. Biochar has emerged as an effective and green material for the remediation of a…

Towards a better understanding of the role of Fe cycling in soil for carbon stabilization and degradation

Xuxin Song, Pei Wang, Lukas Van Zwieten et al. · 18 Jun 2022

Abstract Iron (Fe) minerals play an important role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC). Fe-mediated SOC protection is mainly achieved through adsorption, co-precipitation, or aggregation. However, newly emerging evidence indicates that the electron transfer role of Fe exerts a crucial influence upon SOC turnover. In this review, we address the pathways of Fe mineral-associated soil…

Role of biochar toward carbon neutrality

Liuwei Wang, Jiayu Deng, Xiaodong Yang et al. · 16 Jan 2023

Abstract Carbon neutrality by the mid-twenty-first century is a grand challenge requiring technological innovations. Biochar, a traditional soil amendment which has been used for fertility improvement and contaminant remediation, has revealed new vitality in this context. In this review we highlight the huge potential of biochar application in different fields to mitigate as high as…

Carbon Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Carbon Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Carbon Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Carbon Research use?
Carbon Research uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Carbon Research 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Carbon Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Carbon Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Carbon Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Carbon Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Carbon Research?
Carbon Research is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Carbon Research template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Carbon Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Carbon Research template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Carbon Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Carbon Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Carbon Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
