This book systematically covers the fundamentals and applications of modified biochar. The 19 chapters are divided into 3 sections that provide a holistic overview for researchers from all related fields. Section 1 and 2 present the pyrolysis process, including the advantages and limitations of the physical, chemical, and biological modification methods and characterization of modified biochar. Section 3 highlights the wide spectrum of applications of modified biochar in fuel cells and batteries, remediation of organic and inorganic contaminants from soil and water and soil fertilization. Given its scope, the book appeals to a broad readership in various fields of chemical engineering, materials science, and environmental science.

Dr. Ondřej Mašek is a Reader in Engineering Systems at the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. He is a co-founder of the UK Biochar Research Centre (UKBRC) where he leads the biochar engineering research group and manages a set of unique biochar development and production facilities that he established. His research focuses on development of processes and technologies for sustainable and efficient production of biochar, as well as engineering of biochar for a range of applications, including, but not limited to carbon storage, environmental management, polymer additive, construction material additive, etc. Dr Mašek is actively engaged with the emerging biochar industry, helping to develop new products and solutions for carbon removal and circular economy. He is behind the development of a set of standard biochar materials that have been extensively used by the global research community over the past ten years, with more than 150 research groups benefiting from it to date. He has published over 115 peer-reviewed papers with nearly 4000 citations.

Dr. Ana M�ndez is Professor of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering in the Mines and Energy School at the Universidad Polit�cnica de Madrid Spain. Her research is focused on carbon materials. She has a wide experience in the preparation, characterization, and environmental uses of biochar. He has done research stays at University of Lisbon and University of Porto (Portugal), RMTI Melbourne (Australia), Universit� Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), and Centre de Recherche sur la Mati�re Divis�e CNRS (France). She has published 80 papers in journals included in the JCR. Recently,she has focused her research in engineering biochar for catalysis and
their use in hydrometallurgical processes.

Dr. Toshiki Tsubota is working as Associate Professor at Department of Materials Science, Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. He has obtained his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science from Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. He has worked in some kinds of research fields, such as oxides for thermoelectric material, synthesis of CVD diamond, chemical modification of diamond surface, carbon material for electric double layer capacitor. Currently, he is studying the valuable usage of biochar from biomass such as bamboo. He is a permanent secretary of Japan Biochar Association. He is now Chairman of Kyushu branch of the Surface Finishing Society of Japan (from April in 2020 to March in 2022). He will be a director of the Surface Finishing Society of Japan (from April in 2022 to March in 2024).
