Abstract
) and silicon (Si). Silica and silicon are essential materials used as framework or precursor materials in the synthesis of other advanced materials such as zeolites and catalyst supports. The second part of the review discusses the various thermochemical conversion approaches and their kinetics. The final part of the review discusses the various rice husk-derived advanced materials and their applications.
