Biocomposites for Energy Storage

“…For example, the washer may operate overnight to avoid excessive electricity bills. Additional home appliances such as computers, ovens as well as television have been not appropriate for HEMS regulation, as they must be used by inhabitants as they wish [11][12][13][14][15][16]. They suggested an innovative HEMS construction with RES as well as ESS wherein they make usage of the energy of the chief grid and energy sale into consideration.…”

The global temperature rise is a great alarming factor. The most remarkable contributors are industries and automobiles. Many researchers around the world struggling to find the solution sooner. Many emphasized that solution is required at the earliest possible time, already glaciers in arctic started melting. The majority of them, such as fossil fuels, coal well as others, have been contaminating the immediate area. There is also the option of using renewable energy resources (RERs) that also would be a natural treasure to humanity because of their proximity. Based on a variety of factors, the amount of energy that can be harvested by using RERs is limited, such as seasonal, inadequate equipment, as well as huge collection space. In this article, the emphasis is now on the extent to which other constraints can be utilized. Sectors that produce goods demand enormous amounts of energy, but that energy might indeed not be used in those sectors. As a result, the RERs can sometimes be extensively employed by households and small businesses whose power needs are minimal. As a result, this review has been consolidated in the way of several different test cases.

Increased environmental concerns and global warming have diverted effort all over the world to focus on renewable and sustainable resources for the next generation of composite products due to their recyclability, renewability, cost effectiveness, and satisfactory mechanical performance. Bio/natural fibers which are environment friendly materials employed as reinforcement have led to developing a biocomposite for reduction in greenhouse emission and carbon footprints. However, biofibers are also having some limitations that need to be addressed including poor compatibility between the reinforcing fiber matrices, high moisture absorption, swelling, poor chemical and fire resistance, and high dispersion of mechanical properties. A lot of research has been performed on physical and mechanical properties of natural fiber composite. Properties of such novel composite mainly depend on adhesion between fiber and matrices. Consequently, poor adhesion, high moisture absorption, and swelling lead to formation of crack in both the matrix and fiber. Therefore, numerous techniques have been tried till date to modify both fiber surfaces to enhance their adhesion and reduce their water absorption. This review article provides comprehensive information about effect of various surface modification techniques that include alkaline, silane, acetylation, permanganate, peroxide, benzoylation, acrylonitrile grafting, maleic anhydride grafted, acrylation, and isocyanate. In addition, the effects of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin of biofibers are also reported. This review concluded that chemical treatment of biofibers with 5% NaOH concentration improves the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the resulting composites compared to untreated fiber composites.
