Mesoporous activated carbon (AC) was prepared via sodium hydroxide (NaOH) activation of hydrochar from the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of palm date seed (PDS). The textural, morphological, and chemical properties of the produced hydrochar AC were investigated. NaOH activation enhanced the por...
