Carbon dots (CDs) have received much attention due to their superior properties including water solubility, low toxicity, biocompatibility, small size, fluorescence, and ease of modification. The use of a more environmentally friendly method to prepare high‐quality CDs is still an urgent question waiting for solve. The use of renewable, inexpensive, and green biomass resources not only meets the urgent need for large‐scale synthesis biomass CDs (BCDs), but also promotes the development of sustainable applications. In this article, we summarize the representative methods for synthesizing BCDs in green and simple ways using biomass as a carbon source, including hydrothermal carbonization, and microwave, pyrolysis. The prepared BCDs have a uniform particle size distribution and a relatively high throughput, which provide a method to scale up industrial production. Moreover, the integration of specific optical properties, that is, tunable photoluminescence and up‐photoluminescence, has led to remarkable use in bioimaging, sensing, and drug delivery. But the current review is not particularly comprehensive for BCDs. Therefore, we now provide a review focusing on the synthesis, properties, and recent advances in BCDs in biosensing, bioimaging, optoelectronics, and catalytic applications.

“…Meaningfully, Lignin, as the second most abundant natural polymer, has been successfully demonstrated to be a viable precursor or feedstock for the energy storage devices, such as Li-ion batteries (Cao et al, 2019;Chinomso et al, 2019), Na-ion batteries (Lin et al, 2020), and supercapacitors (Wang et al, 2019d;Yu et al, 2019). Endowed with abundant aromatic polymer with a carbon content of about 60 wt.%, lignin is suitable for preparing porous carbon framework (Yu et al, 2019;Lin et al, 2020). Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on lignin-derived carbon for AZIB storage systems (Yuan et al, 2019).…”

Hybridizing δ-Type MnO2 With Lignin-Derived Porous Carbon as a Stable Cathode Material for Aqueous Zn–MnO2 Batteries

et al. 2020

With the advantages of intrinsic safety, low price, high output potential, and acceptable energy density, aqueous rechargeable Zn-MnO 2 batteries are gradually emerging as promising energy storage devices in recent years. Unfortunately, the structural instability and poor electrical conductivity of manganese dioxides still hinder their further applications. To tackle these issues, we demonstrate a high-performance cathode material for Zn-MnO 2 batteries by hybridizing lignin-derived porous carbon with δ-MnO 2 (denoted as LPC/δ-MnO 2). Benefiting from the high electrical conductivity of porous carbon, the LPC/δ-MnO 2 cathode material can offer high discharge capacity of 332.3 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 and excellent high-rate capability (196.1 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1). Meanwhile, the assembled Zn-MnO 2 battery displays good long-term cycling stability (82% capacity retention after 1000 cycles). Such superior performances are attributed to the synergetic effect of nanostructured δ-MnO 2 and porous carbon scaffold, which is in favor of rapid Zn 2+ ion diffusion and large contribution ratio of pseudocapacitive Zn 2+ ion intercalation. The results of this study show great prospects of hybridizing biomass-derived carbon framework with electrochemically active materials toward advanced energy storage materials.

“…Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution, clean and renewable energies such as solar, wind, tide, and geothermal play an important role in realizing the sustainable development of human society, and thus have become the fastest-growing renewable energy resources. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, these clean energies are always inherently intermittent, resulting in a conflict between energy harvesting and consumption from the aspects of time and space. 15,[17][18][19][20][21][22] To this end, the energy storage system (ESS) is considered to be an effective solution to store and deliver these intermittent energies.…”

Anode materials for potassium‐ion batteries: Current status and prospects

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs) as one of the most promising alternatives to lithium‐ion batteries have been highly valued in recent years. However, progress in KIBs is largely restricted by the sluggish development in anode materials. Therefore, it is imperative to systematically outline and evaluate the recent research advances in the field of anode materials for KIBs toward promoting the development of high‐performance anode materials for KIBs. In this review, the recent achievements in anode materials for KIBs are summarized. The electrochemical properties (ie. charge storage mechanism, capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability) of these reported anode materials, as well as their advantages/disadvantages, are discerned and analyzed, enabling high‐performance KIBs to meet the requirements for practical applications. Finally, technological developments, scientific challenges, and future research opportunities of anode materials for KIBs are briefly reviewed.
