“…Designing appropriate pore structure and pore size distribution for the AC materials to reduce the ionic diffusion resistance is prioritized in terms of improving electrochemical performance, because carbon materials usually possess good electron conductivity. [6] Generally, AC materials with the "labyrinth" of channel structure have high ionic diffusion resistance. [7] It is necessary to simplify the pore structure.…”

As one of the most popular biomass materials, lignin is mainly used for incineration for providing heat. However, the large amount of CO2 emission results in serious environmental pollutions. To avoid the environmental issues, the transformation of lignin into high value‐added products has attracted increasing attention. In this study, a simple strategy is introduced to prepare lignin‐based nanospheres in acetone/water binary solution and the mechanisms related to the particle formation and particle size‐control are studied. By adjusting the ratio of solvent (acetone/water =55%‐95%) and the initial concentration of lignin (0.25%‐2.5%), the particle size of lignin microspheres ranges from 100 nm to 4 μm. After activation, the lignin microspheres with high specific surface area (2566 m2 g−1) and suitable pore size distribution are applied in electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). Among all the prepared samples, the activated lignin microspheres in nanoscale exhibit the best electrochemical performance in EDLCs. It displays a high gravimetric specific capacitance of 147 and 150 F g−1 at the current density of 0.05 A g−1, and maintains 117 and 108 F g−1 even at the higher current density of 10 A g−1 in 1 M TEABF4/PC electrolyte and [EMIM]BF4 ionic liquid, respectively. Therefore, the activated lignin‐based nanospheres can realize the high value‐added utilization of lignin, and have great prospects in the field of energy storage.

Melanins are a class of biopolymers that are widespread in nature and have diverse origins, chemical compositions, and functions. Their chemical, electrical, optical, and paramagnetic properties offer opportunities for applications in materials science, particularly for medical and technical uses. This review focuses on the application of analytical techniques to study melanins in multidisciplinary contexts with a view to their use as sustainable resources for advanced biotechnological applications, and how these may facilitate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
