An important physical change in coal during the lignite rank of coalification is the formation of organized sets of fractures or joints, called cleats. Cleats are what give coal its common blocky appearance. They are also pathways for moisture and gas movement and subsequent mineralization (Stach et al., 1992, Laubach et al., 1998).

Fig. 6 shows the mesopore size distribution of the raw coal and oxidized lignite samples. Raw coal presented a well-developed mesoporous structure, and consequently its specific surface area and pore volume were high (Fig. 5), and there was a peak at ∼6 nm. However, our results indicate that the mesopore structure of the oxidized …
Demineralization activating highly-disordered lignite …
Lignite, as one of the coal materials, has emerged as a promising hard-carbon precursor due to its low-cost and high carbon yield [7]. However, the practical applications of lignite-derived hard carbon suffers from unsatisfactory sodium storage performance, particularly in terms of low reversible capacity and poor rate performance [8].
