It is intended to attract the broad attention of scientists to this prospective trend of development in “green batteries”. The advances in process engineering, nanotechnology, and materials science gradually enable the potential applications of biomass in novel energy storage technologies such as lithium secondary batteries (LSBs).
In contrast, replicating this complexity with synthetic materials remains a significant challenge. Bioinspired materials with hierarchically porous and multilayered structures exhibit significant promise for use in batteries such as LIBs, SIBs, and ZIBs etc.
Even ionic liquid electrolytes have been synthesized by using purely biomass-derived chemicals. Finally, carbonaceous materials are an important constituent of all kinds of batteries, not only as host materials for metal ions in anodes but also, for example, as conductive additives.
Bioinspired 3D materials for batteries refer to materials designed for batteries that mimic natural structures or functions , , . Structures exhibiting hierarchical organization have multiple levels, each contributing to overall performance and functionality.
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.
When thrown away, the metals and solution within the battery may be toxic to the environment. Based on the research conducted by the University of Cambridge, algae could be used to make a biological photovoltaic battery (BPV), a battery that uses photosynthesis from microorganisms to remain charged.
Biomaterials are a useful and versatile feedstock of carbon, and it is largely in this capacity of carbon precursor that they have been employed as battery electrode materials. Besides carbon, biomaterials contain other useful elements, such as O-, N-, S- and P-functionalities, that can have beneficial e ffects on ion transport and storage.
