“…Even under very large rate of 10 A g -1 , a stable capacity of 124 mA h g -1 could still be achieved, which indicated potential application of IWC-1200 in fast-charging batteries. Compared with other biomass derived carbon anodes at high rates, such as banana peel pseudographite (100 mA h g -1 at 2 A g -1 , 70 mA h g -1 at 5 A g -1 ) [33], paulownia (120 mA h g -1 at 2 A g -1 ) [45] and porous carbons derived from microalgae (355 mA h g -1 at 1 A g -1 [46], IWC-1200 electrode exhibited still superior rate capacity.…”

Biomass-derived graphitic carbon is becoming an attractive material for anodes in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs) owing to its sustainability. The graphitization of biochar by heating above 2600°C not only requires high energy consumption but also removes heteroatoms that are conducive to electrochemical energy storage. In this study, graphitic carbon nanosheets with N/P-dual doping are facilely synthesized by one-step carbonization of pine sawdust at 800/1000/1200°C that is priorly dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium ([Bmim]H 2 PO 4 ) and used as anodes of LIBs/SIBs, respectively.[Bmim]H 2 PO 4 simultaneously promotes the graphitization and porosities of the biochar as carbonization temperature increases in addition to providing N/Pdual doping. Used as anodes of LIBs, IWC-1200 demonstrates excellent rate performance and cyclic stability, delivering 385 mAh g -1 at 1 Ag -1 throughout 1000 cycles. For sodium storage, IWC-1000 exhibits stable capacities of 217 mAh g -1 at 0.1 A g -1 and 101 mAh g -1 at 1 Ag -1 . The electrochemical performances benefit from the graphitized structure with N/P-dual doping, leading to redox pseudocapacitance for lithium/sodium storage. DFT calculations suggest that pyridinic N strongly attracts both Li and Na while P atoms inside the graphitic structure significantly increase the interlayer spacing.

“…The suitability of wood‐based carbons for different battery technologies was further confirmed analyzing the effect of wood source as anode materials for LIBs and NIBs. [ 123 ] Subjected to a first delignification reaction to obtain individual fibers, and followed with a two‐step carbonization process, different woods including bamboo, pine, poplar, and paulownia were transformed into conductive carbonaceous materials maintaining the hollow tubular structure of native wood. Among the variety of sources, the bamboo wood showed the best performance in a LIB configuration with a discharge capacity of 435 mAh g –1 at 50 mA g –1 ; while reversible capacities of 320 mAh g –1 were obtained in a NIB at 50 mA g –1 .…”

Nature's hierarchical materials offer exceptional multifunctional properties thanks to their evolution over millions of years to reach the most optimized organization in terms of function, structure, or chemistry. Exploiting the unique features of natural materials through biomimicry offers an exciting research field with large potential for new discoveries. Wood, as one of the most fascinating biomaterials, combines unique mechanical properties, an anisotropic hierarchical porosity optimized to provide rapid, and low tortuosity pathways for nutrient/water transport, abundance, and biodegradability. Accordingly, wood has inspired scientists to mimic its outstanding properties in artificial analogues to develop batteries with remarkable electrochemical performance. For instance, its sophisticated structure can be transferred to solid‐state materials through biomimetic templating to increase the lifespan and energy density of batteries, while its inherent hierarchical multi‐channeled structure allows the synthesis of current collectors with enhanced ion and electron diffusivity. This Review highlights the recent progress into the application of wood as a hierarchically porous and renewable material to develop different battery components, including the cathode, the anode, the separator, and current collectors. The potential of wood‐inspired batteries to lessen the pressure over critical raw materials and additional environmental sustainability benefits are highlighted within a circular economy perspective.

“…The raw materials and synthesis strategies of biomass-derived carbon have significant effects on its morphological characteristics, physical properties, and chemical compositions, which are related to energy conversion/storage performance. Much renewable biomass has been used as precursors of carbon-containing materials for LIBs, such as bamboo [14], olive [15], corn stalk core [16], wheat straw [17], soybean residues [18], rice husks [19], woodchips [20], and shrimp shells [21]. For example, Xiao and his coworker [22] reported that the porous nitrogen-rich (5.13%) carbon materials were prepared from wheat straw, and the ultra-high rate performance was nearly 344 mAg/g at 18.5 A/g.…”

With the upgrading of consumption, the existing carbon-based anode materials are facing the major challenges of high preparation cost and low initial Coulomb efficiency. The fast-growing and developed sieve tube network is an inspiration to transform cattail phloem tissue (CPT) into a high-performance carbon-based anode for lithium-ion battery. In this study, porous carbon materials from CPT with abundant microchannel and nanochannel were prepared by a top-down strategy combined with an indispensable passivation process. The sidewall and end of the sieve tube are fully covered by a large number of pore structures and various supporting cells, thus ensuring the stiffness and tensile strength of phloem tissue. And benefiting from the neoteric hierarchical porous structure without Li + trapping sites, the cells with CPT anode showed high electrochemical performance. For the passivated CPT electrode, the reversible capacity increased to 321.6 mAh/g, and the initial Coulomb efficiency was 1.47 times higher than that of the passivated CPT electrode. The CPT exhibits excellent rate performance under high current, which indicates that the abundant pore structure on the surface of the sieve tube is an effective measure to improve ion diffusion. Besides, the generation mechanism of high-performance CPT is analyzed through microstructure characterization. The improvement of electrochemical performance of CPT in this work has provided a clear strategy for the application of resource-rich natural biomass to electrochemical products.
