Global warming has prompted a search for new materials that capture and sink carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>). Biochar is a derivative of biomass pyrolysis and a carbon sink mainly used to improve crop production. This work explores the underlying mechanism behind biochar's electric conductivity using a wide range of feedstocks and its combination with a binder (gypsum). This gypsum-biochar composite exhibits decreased density and flexural moduli with increasing biochar content, particularly afte ...[more]
