In industry and research, ACFs find applications in: - Environmental catalysis, such as air and water purification through the removal of pollutants. - Energy storage and conversion, including fuel cells and supercapacitors, where their high surface area and conductivity are advantageous. - Chemical synthesis, where ACFs serve as supports for metal catalysts or as catalysts themselves. - Electrocatalysis, particularly in the production of hydrogen through water splitting or in the reduction of CO2.
