The invention discloses a
charcoal preparation method and an application thereof and belongs to the field of biological material preparation. The method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, soaking cleaned
banana peel in a solution with a pore forming agent, performing freeze-
drying, calcining in an
inert atmosphere, performing ball-milling in a
nitrogen-containing
atmosphere, screening, and finally performing acid
pickling,
water washing and centrifugal collection, thereby obtaining
charcoal. As the pore forming agent is used before the
banana peel is carbonized, a carbonizedmaterial is relatively rich in pore; the carbonized material is further subjected to ball milling in the presence of a
nitrogen-containing gas, so that not only is the specific surface area of the carbonized material increased, but also a
nitrogen source is introduced into the
charcoal; the prepared charcoal material is good in stability, can be applied to
filtration of granules and organic matters in the
atmosphere and adsorption of organic matters in water, can be used as a
supercapacitor electrode material, and in addition can be repeatedly used.
