“…The modified carbon aerogels, based on potato starch (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), were obtained via a gelatinization process described in detail in our previous work [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. A gum arabic (Avantor Performance Materials Poland S.A., Gliwice, Poland, 99%), as a structuring additive, was introduced during starch hydrogel preparation, in quantities of 1% w / w , 5% w / w , 10% w / w and 20% w / w .…”

“…Nonetheless, these applied in Li-ion cells as negative electrode can also often require a high pressure synthesis condition [ 7 ]; complex, multi-step treatment [ 11 ]; or very high temperatures during thermal treatment [ 11 , 13 ]. Therefore, among them, the interesting direction in Li-ion batteries studies is the application of starch-based carbon aerogels (CAGs), and what is associated with their unique features that make them competitive for energy storage systems in terms of their properties, economy and ecology [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. They are obtained through eco-friendly, water-based synthesis.…”

In this work, we investigated the influence of gum arabic (GA) as a structuring additive, on the electrochemical behavior of bio-derived carbon aerogels (CAGs). Modified carbonaceous materials were prepared by the gelatinization process of potato starch (PS) with the addition of GA in various quantities, followed by the thermal treatment of the obtained gels in an inert gas atmosphere. The obtained anode materials were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis (EA), galvanostatic charge/discharge tests (GCDT), extensive cycling (LT-GCDT) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. The highest electrochemical performance was achieved for carbon aerogel material, in which 1% w/w GA was added. The results showed that the proper composition of carbon precursor with a structuring promoter improves the rheological properties of starch gel and stabilizes the final aerogel structure affecting CAG functional properties.

“…The CAG materials were synthesized via the gelatinization process of different types of starch (rice, maize, and potato, Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) followed by the solvent exchange, the drying process, and the carbonization of the obtained samples under argon (Air Products, 99.999%, Allentown, PA, USA) flow (described in detail previously by our group [12,24,25,26]). The temperature of the pyrolysis process was established at 600 °C, 700 °C, 900 °C, 1200 °C, and 1600 °C, with a constant heating rate (2°/min) and the temperature being maintaining for 6 h.…”

“…Currently, a large amount of investigations focus on the heat treatment of biomasses or industrial waste [10,13,14,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. Our latest studies [12,24,25,26,27] deal with the development of the hierarchically arranged, nanostructured carbon aerogels (CAGs), derived from starch, the major carbohydrate reserve in plants, which is also one of the most abundant natural polymers on earth. This renewable and biodegradable polysaccharide generally consists of linear amylose and highly branched amylopectin [28].…”

The influence of the pyrolysis temperature on the structural, textural, and electrochemical properties of carbon aerogels obtained from potato, maize, and rice starches was analyzed. The carbonization of organic precursors, followed by gelatinization, exchange of solvent, and drying process, was carried out in an argon atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 600 °C to 1600 °C. The nanostructured carbons were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) as well as N2-adsorption/desorption (N2-BET) methods. The electrochemical behavior of Li-ion cells based on the fabricated carbon anodes was investigated using the galvanostatic charge/discharge tests (GCDT) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the thermal treatment stage has a crucial impact on the proper formation of the aerogel material’s porous structures and also on their working parameters as anode materials. The highest relative development of the external surface was obtained for the samples pyrolysed at 700 °C, which exhibited the best electrochemical characteristics (the highest specific capacities as well as the lowest charge transfer resistances).

“…Biomass carbon (BC) materials are extensively and deeply studied due to suitable fast adsorption/desorption of natural porous distribution structure and excellent specific surface area for lithium ion. Therefore, researchers obtained Biological carbon suitable for electrochemical energy storage by using physical or chemical activation methods based on factory waste and biomass waste in daily life, such as pomelo pericarp, [27] oyster shell, [28] walnut shell, beehive, [29] cane sugar, [30] bamboo, [31] starch, [32] cotton rose wood, [33] coconut shell, [34] jackfruit skin, [35] etc. The application of biomass‐derived carbon in LICs has also been intensively investigated.…”

The Lithium‐ion capacitor (LIC) is a potential candidate for the next generation of energy storage devices due to high power density, high energy density and excellent cycle stability. Nonetheless, the problem of matching optimization is still faced for LIC. Many different approaches are explored to find a balance between the two storage mechanisms so that high performance LICs can be obtained. Here, CoF2, prepared by solvothermal method, showed reversible specific capacity of 307 mAh g−1 after 900 cycles at 0.1 A g−1 and 81 mAh g−1 after 10,000 cycles at 4 A g−1. Meanwhile, coconut shell is used as precursor for preparing natural porous carbon as cathode materials of LIC. The coconut shell biomass carbon (CSBC‐5), outstanding specific surface area (2767 m2 g−1), holds a capacity of 120 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1. The LIC, CoF2 as anode and CSBC‐5 as cathode, shows excellent cycle stability (65 % capacity retention after 5000 cycles), higher energy density of 82 Wh kg−1 (at power density of 190 W kg−1) and higher power density of 3800 W kg−1(at energy density of 50 Wh kg−1). Therefore, the material of CoF2 is a promising choice for the future anode and promotes the development of LIC.
