In this study pyrolyzed glycerol was explored as electrode material using a catalytic agent during pyrolysis. Here, evaporation of glycerol at high temperatures was prevented by catalyzing the formation of oligoglycerol in turn leading to carbonization above 300 °C. A one-step and tow-step pyrolysis...
