“…Having a structure composed mostly from cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin (and low amounts of proteins, ash and pectin) and a composition rich in carbon that can exceed 60% (on a dry basis), biomass represents the most approached category of precursors to develop hard carbon anodes for sodium ion batteries [3], [6], [7]. Several literature studies reported hard carbon anodes based on a broad range of biomass precursors such as: fruit peels [8]- [12], different nuts shells [13]- [16], agro-industrial residues [17]- [19], pinecones [20], peat moss [21], algae [22], cellulose [23]- [25], lignin [26]- [28], sucrose [29], glucose [30]- [32], etc. It appears evident that the term biomass includes various precursors which can be subdivided in other categories such as: bio-waste (fruit/vegetable peels, agro-industrial residues), carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose) and biopolymers (lignin, cellulose).…”

Biomass waste recently emerged as efficient precursors for hard carbon anode preparation for Na-ion batteries. Despite their very complex microstructure (organic/inorganic) there is a lack of knowledge about their impact on carbon formation. In this paper, the influence of inorganic impurities of three raw local biomass wastes (asparagus, grape and potato) on the hard carbon properties and on their electrochemical performance is investigated, by performing a washing step either before or after the thermal treatment (TT) at 1300 °C. When washing was done after the TT (with HCl), most of crystalline inorganic impurities (K, Ca, Si, Mg-based compounds) could be significantly removed. This triggered the increase of ultramicroporosity along with mesoporosity formation and graphite interlayer space (d002) contraction. Such observations are less pronounced on grape derived carbon due to the inorganic's catalytic induced local graphitization during pyrolysis. The oxygen content in the pristine carbons was high, owing to the presence of inorganic metal oxides and carbonates, and could be diminished after washing along with the amount of defects. Thus, the carbon content and the electronic conductivity of the materials were enhanced. The electrochemical performance improvement after washing was limited since the positive effect brought by impurities removal was negatively compensated by the changes occurring in the materials, particularly the increase in the specific surface area. Diffrently, the washing done before the TT (with water) induced only fewer changes on the materials porosity and structure and slightly improved capacity (from 215 to 230 mAh g −1). Furthermore, higher pyrolysis temperature (1400 °C) on washed HCs afforded a better reversible capacity up to 280 mAh g −1. This comprehensive study opens the door for green and mild synthesis approach to be further explored for sustainable fabrication of hard carbon for Na-ion batteries.

“…Based on the above statements, biomass waste can be used as a good precursor for electrode materials in SIBs. A large amount of waste such as tamarind [18], lotus seedpod [19] and pistachio shells [20] have been used as carbon precursors to prepare carbonaceous materials and exhibit good performance thanks to the rich microstructures of natural biomass. In order to further improve the material properties, many researchers have improved the conductivity and increased the active sites by doping heteroatoms in carbon materials [21][22][23].…”

“…From the viewpoint of sustainability, carbon materials derived from waste biomass are especially interesting . In recent years, carbons made from rice husks, corn or wheat straw, coir pith, soy bean residues (from tofu production), pistachio shells, wood chips or fibers, grass, pine pollen, lignin, tannic acid, or shrimp shells, among others, have been introduced as anode materials in lithium‐ or sodium‐based batteries. Similarly, all kinds of biowaste have been carbonized and used as host materials in the cathodes of lithium–sulfur, lithium–selenium, or lithium–oxygen batteries.…”

Sustainable sources of energy have been identified as a possible way out of today's oil dependency and are being rapidly developed. In contrast, storage of energy to a large extent still relies on heavy metals in batteries. Especially when built from biomass‐derived organics, organic batteries are promising alternatives and pave the way towards truly sustainable energy storage. First described in 2008, research on biomass‐derived electrodes has been taken up by a multitude of researchers worldwide. Nowadays, in principle, electrodes in batteries could be composed of all kinds of carbonized and noncarbonized biomass: On one hand, all kinds of (waste) biomass may be carbonized and used in anodes of lithium‐ or sodium‐ion batteries, cathodes in metal–sulfur or metal–oxygen batteries, or as conductive additives. On the other hand, a plethora of biomolecules, such as quinones, flavins, or carboxylates, contain redox‐active groups that can be used as redox‐active components in electrodes with very little chemical modification. Biomass‐based binders can replace toxic halogenated commercial binders to enable a truly sustainable future of energy storage devices. Besides the electrodes, electrolytes and separators may also be synthesized from biomass. In this Review, recent research progress in this rapidly emerging field is summarized with a focus on potentially fully biowaste‐derived batteries.
