The thermolytic transformation of lignocellulosic spent coffee grounds to superior redox-active carbocatalyst (denoted as NBC) via nitrogen functionalization in a pyrolytic environment at various temperatures was investigated. The intrinsic (e.g. surface chemistry, degree of graphitization, etc.) an...
