“…The anodic peak at around 1.0 V suggested some SEI components oxidation. [35] The reduction peaks at 0.6 V shifted to 1.0 V slightly in the following cathodic scan due to the activation of the electrode ( Figure S2b). These modest peaks were hardly observed in the CV curves of the MnO/C.…”

Rational utilization of biomass waste in creating new clean energy such as lithium‐ion batteries is conducive to alleviating the energy crisis and boosting environmental protection. Herein, using peanut shells as the carbon source, a MnO/C composite material was successfully prepared through an eco‐environmental and facile approach based on hydrothermal treatment and pyrolysis. The resultant MnO/C composite material demonstrated a hierarchical porous structure and MnO particles with irregular morphology were embedded in the pores. When used in a lithium‐ion battery, the material exhibited much better lithium storage properties than those for pristine MnO and peanut shell‐derived carbon. In 0.0–3.0 V, the composite material can supply an initial specific capacity of 1169.5 mA h g−1, with a capacity retention ratio of 84.9 % after 200 electrochemical cycles. Even at 2400 mA g−1, the material can still offer a discharge capacity of 532.3 mA h g−1, manifesting an outstanding rate performance. The enhanced lithium storage properties of the composite material are attributed to the support of the porous carbon matrix derived from peanut shells, which are not only conducive to improving conductivity but also capable of buffering the volume expansion/shrinkage caused by lithiation/delithiation during charge/discharge processes.

“…[12,13] In addition, the structural defects and disorder degree of carbon materials enhance the transport of sodium ions. [14,15] Researchers have explored a variety of amorphous carbon-based anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, such as carbon spheres, [16] hard carbon, [17,18] hollow carbon nanowires, [19] carbon nanotubes, [20] carbon nanofibers [21] and grapheme. [22] These findings indicate that the improvement in the electrochemical performance of carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries strongly depends on their morphology, pore structure, and heteroatom doping.…”

Compared with the cathode materials, the research on the anode materials of the sodium‐ion batteries has lagged behind. Therefore, development of the anode materials with high capacity, long life, and excellent rate properties is the key to unlocking the practical application for sodium‐ion batteries. This study presents the preparation of hierarchical porous hard carbon as an active anode material from rice husks. The as‐synthesized materials are characterized by X‐ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. These porous hard carbon materials exhibit a high specific surface area and are promising for reversible sodium storage. Galvanostatic studies show that the specific initial capacities of all samples were in the range of 130–300 mA h g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 between 0.01 V and 2.3 V. Compared to the other samples, the hard carbon materials prepared at 800 °C from rice husk (RHPC‐800) can deliver a high reversible capacity of 274 mA h g−1 at a current density of 25 mA g−1, maintain a capacity of approximately 260 mA h g−1, and retain 92.7 % of its capacity after 500 cycles. This excellent electrochemical performance of the as‐prepared RHPC‐800 material is attributed to the high specific surface area and low charge transfer resistance.

“…Moreover, in nature, the biomass material with fibrous structure can be found everywhere, such as flax [55], ramie [56,57], stem bark [58], lotus seedpods [59], bacterial cellulose [24,[60][61][62][63][64], because they usually contain lignin and cellulose. It is wellknown that electrospinning is a powerful and simple technique for fiber production [65].…”

“…On the other hand, the porous biomass-derived carbon can shorten the ion diffusion pathways and offer the increased electrode/ electrolyte interface for the enhanced rate capability. To date, most biomass-derived carbon have been prepared from various biomass precursors and used in anode materials of lithium-ion batteries, such as coir pith [194], cotton [195], wheat stalk [26,86], bean dreg [196], microalgae [197], glucose [198], ramie fibers and corncobs [57], coconut oil [21], sisal fiber [199], green tea [200], lignin [201].…”

“…Accordingly, among various types of carbon materials, hard carbon-based materials are considered a promising anode candidate for sodiumion batteries, owing to their large interlayer distance, non-ordered structure, high reversible capacity, low average potential, long cycling stability and low cost. Hard carbon materials are commonly produced from the pyrolysis of polymers, meanwhile they can also be derived from a variety of biomass precursors, such as sucrose [37], glucose [39], lotus petioles [145], coconut oil [21], ramie fibers and corncobs [57], corn cobs [215], horn comb [216], bacterial cellulose [70], oatmeal [22], maize [217], okara [96], dandelion [76], grass [218], black fungus [219]. However, hard carbon anode materials exhibited a low initial Coulombic efficiency due to the formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer.…”

Currently, carbon materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, porous carbon, have been successfully applied in energy storage area by taking advantage of their structural and functional diversity. However, the development of advanced science and technology has spurred demands for green and sustainable energy storage materials. Biomass-derived carbon, as a type of electrode materials, has attracted much attention because of its structural diversities, adjustable physical/chemical properties, environmental friendliness and considerable economic value. Because the nature contributes the biomass with bizarre microstructures, the biomass-derived carbon materials also show naturally structural diversities, such as 0D spherical, 1D fibrous, 2D lamellar and 3D spatial structures. In this review, the structure design of biomass-derived carbon materials for energy storage is presented. The effects of structural diversity, porosity and surface heteroatom doping of biomass-derived carbon materials in supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries are discussed in detail. In addition, the new trends and challenges in biomass-derived carbon materials have also been proposed for further rational design of biomass-derived carbon materials for energy storage.
