“…However, the oxidation of the specific sites of the pyrene molecule to obtain the ketone oxygens in the right positions is not easily achievable, and a synthesis route with expensive catalysts and low yield has to be utilized 130 . Recent life cycle assessments on laboratory‐scale organic batteries highlighted how the synthesis processes of organic molecules need to be greatly optimized to match the environmental (and cost) performance of commercial battery materials, for instance, by eliminating the use of expensive catalysts and improving the final yield 22,23 . Li et al listed the projected cost of a variety of organic cathode materials using the data from the reactions found in the literature, and no material had a cost lower than 400 $ kg −1 101 .…”

“…[16][17][18][19][20] Other than the abundancy of the precursors, organic materials are expected to be more sustainable than commercial lithium-ion battery materials, with a global warming potential that could be $3 to 4 times lower, 20 and the possibility of assembling biodegradable organic batteries was also demonstrated. 21 Their sustainability has yet to be proven, since to date only lab-scale life cycle assessments on non-optimized synthesis routes are available, 22,23 which usually tend to greatly overestimate the environmental impact of battery materials. 24 Another advantage of organic materials can be found in their high versatility, due to the richness of their organic chemistry.…”

The high demand for critical minerals such as lithium, copper, nickel, and cobalt, required for lithium‐ion batteries, has raised questions regarding the feasibility of maintaining a steady and affordable supply of raw materials for their production. In the last years, researchers have shifted their attention toward organic materials, which are potentially more widely available, affordable, and sustainable due to the ubiquitous presence of the constituent organic elements. The n‐type materials have a redox mechanism analogous to that of lithium‐ion cathodes and anodes, hence they are suitable for a meaningful comparison with the state‐of‐the‐art technology. While many reviews have evaluated the properties of organic materials at the material or electrode level, herein, the properties of n‐type organic materials are assessed in a complex system, such as a full battery, to evaluate the feasibility and performance of these materials in commercial‐scale battery systems. The most relevant cathode materials for organic batteries are reviewed, and a detailed cost and performance analysis of n‐type material‐based battery packs using the BatPaC 5.0 software is presented. The analysis considers the influence of electrode design choices, such as the conductive carbon content, active material mass loading, and electrode density, on energy density and cost. The potential of n‐type organic materials as a low‐cost and sustainable solution for energy storage applications is highlighted, while emphasizing the need for further advancements of organic materials for energy storage applications.image

“…The life cycle assessment (LCA) [111][112][113] serves as a quantitative method widely employed in studies focused on exploring and investigating the environmental implications of battery technologies, including ZIBs. In the study conducted by Iturrondobeitia et al [110], they examined the environmental impacts of six different varieties of ZIBs using LCA, starting from the extraction of raw materials and production up to the assembly of the battery cell.…”

The synthesis of graphitic carbon nanostructures from cellulose extraction of durian peel waste has been successfully carried out in this study. This study aim to produce the graphitic carbon nanostructures to give innovative solutions to the renewable energy storage challenge. Durian peel cellulose was synthesized into graphitic carbon nanostructures through catalytic graphitization method. 4.8 grams of durian peel cellulose was hydrocharred at 200°C for 4 hours, then impregnated using Fe(NO3).9H2O and ethanol for 90 minutes. The sample was then precipitated for 12 hours and dried at 60°C. The sample was pyrolysed at 900°C for 3 hours. Characterization was carried out using TEM and XRD. Characterization TEM showed the morphological characteristics of graphitic carbon nanostructures in the form of coils in uneven amounts with the avarage diameter size is 24.9134 nm. In addition, the XRD characterization results also strengthen the characteristic phase of graphitic carbon nanostructures at 2θ 26.5° and 44.7°, although nanoparticles from Fe catalysis are visible in the sample due to the absence of reflux.
