Biomass-Derived Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion: Overview and Perspectives

Abstract

Electrochemical energy storage and conversion (EESC) technology is key to the sustainable development of human society. As an abundant and renewable source, biomass has recently shown widespread applications in EESC, achieving both low environmental impact and high performances. This article provides overview and perspectives on various types of biomass-derived materials, their preparation, the role in EESC and the desired features, performances and limitations, and future research efforts.
