“…The highly condensed linkage of lignin offers high mechanical strength and rigidity, which are also crucial features in binders and separators. These traits of lignin provoke tremendous research and development of lignin-based binders, separators, and electrolytes for rechargeable batteries [39][40][41].…”

This review discusses important scientific progress, problems, and prospects of lignin-based materials in the field of rechargeable batteries. Lignin, a component of the secondary cell wall, is considered a promising source of biomass. Compared to cellulose, which is the most extensively studied biomass material, lignin has a competitive price and a variety of functional groups leading to broad utilization such as adhesive, emulsifier, pesticides, polymer composite, carbon precursor, etc. The lignin-based materials can also be applied to various components in rechargeable batteries such as the binder, separator, electrolyte, anode, and cathode. This review describes how lignin-based materials are adopted in these five components with specific examples and explains why lignin is attractive in each case. The electrochemical behaviors including charge–discharge profiles, cyclability, and rate performance are discussed between lignin-based materials and materials without lignin. Finally, current limitations and future prospects are categorized to provide design guidelines for advanced lignin-based materials.

“…Sulfonation and subsequent chlorination of pine acid hydrolysis lignin and its combination with poly(vinyl alcohol) has been reported to produce GPEs with an ionic conductivity of 0.25 mS cm −1 . 31 However, the potential of sodium lignosulfonate, which is the dominant technical lignin based on today's production quantities, in combination of natural polysaccharides has remained unexplored in GPEs.…”

Electrochemical energy storage technologies offer means to transition toward a decarbonized society and carbon neutrality by 2050. Compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, aqueous zinc-ion chemistries do not require scarce materials or toxic and flammable organic-based electrolytes to function, making them favorable contenders in the scenario of intensifying climate change and supply chain crisis. However, environmentally benign and bio-based materials are needed to substitute fossil-based battery materials. Accordingly, this work taps into the possibilities of lignin together with chitosan to form gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) for zinc-ion chemistries. A simple fabrication process enabling free-standing sodium lignosulfonate− chitosan and micellar lignosulfonate−kraft lignin−chitosan GPEs with diameters exceeding 80 mm is developed. The GPEs combine tensile strength with ductility, reaching Young's moduli of 55 ± 4 to 940 ± 63 MPa and elongations at break of 14.1 ± 0.2 to 43.9 ± 21.1%. Competitive ionic conductivities ranging from 3.8 to 18.6 mS cm −1 and electrochemical stability windows of up to +2.2 V vs Zn 2+ /Zn were observed. Given the improved interfacial adhesion of the GPEs with metallic Zn promoted by the anionic groups of the lignosulfonate, a stable cycling of the Zn anode is obtained. As a result, GPEs can operate at 5000 μA cm −2 with no short-circuit and Coulombic efficiencies above 99.7%, outperforming conventional separator−liquid electrolyte configurations such as the glass microfiber separator soaked into 2 M ZnSO 4 aqueous electrolyte, which short-circuits after 100 μA cm −2 . This work demonstrates the potential of underutilized biorefinery side-streams and marine waste as electrolytes in the battery field, opening new alternatives in the sustainable energy storage landscape beyond LIBs.

“…The battery could benefit from the replacement of those polymers as it would bring a sustainable dimension to the system while reducing the effective cost of the final device. 17,18 Pectin, a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide found in plants, can be a great candidate for hydrogel electrolyte applications. 19 The main component of pectic substances is a poly-D-galacturonic acid, linked by α-(1,4)-glucosidic bonds, with additional sugar residues such as arabinose or rhamnose.…”

“…Many hydrogel systems have been developed during the past years for supercapacitors and batteries with various numbers of polymers used as matrices, for example: polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, and poly(vinylidene fluoridene). , However, the use of these polymers increases the ecological footprint of the device as they are not bio-based or biodegradable.

Demand for flexible energy storage devices is rapidly increasing due to the development of new wearable and flexible electronics. These developments require improved integration of energy storage devices to meet the design specifications of these products. Polymer hydrogels are an alternative class of flexible electrolytes that can be used in power source systems. Herein, we present a new sustainable hydrogel electrolyte material made with apple pectin. Using an easy solution casting approach, a bio-based hydrogel was formed via pectin gelation. The resultant hydrogel was made with environmentally benign compounds including water, zinc and/or lithium sulfate salt, and a bio-based polymer. This hydrogel electrolyte exhibits ambient temperature ionic conductivities that are similar to those found in aqueous liquid electrolytes (∼5 × 10 −2 S cm −1 ), depending on electrolyte hydration. Its wide thermal stability window enables the electrolyte to be used at both low temperatures (−20 °C) and intermediate temperatures (50 °C), without significant changes in ionic conductivity (>10 −3 S cm −1 ). By proposing an energy-oriented solution using one of the food industry's major waste materials, we report a novel approach to processing a bio-based polymer for energy storage purposes.
