A biomass-based cathode for long-life lithium-sulfur batteries

Sustainable hierarchically porous carbons from bio-oil to remove emerging contaminants

“…20,[24][25][26][27][28][29] Biomass or biomass residues can undergo chemical transformations where they are turned into solid materials with high added value that can be applied in energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries. [30][31][32] These biomass *value-added materials, from an environmental and sustainable point of view, can be applied as carbon-based adsorbents (activated carbon, biochar, magnetic biochar, and mesoporous carbon) in the capture of gases such as CO 2 and methane and in the treatment of wastewater. 7,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Among the diverse range of carbon-based adsorbents, hierarchically porous carbons (HPCs) derived from biomass stand out due to their economic and sustainable nature, as well as their high adsorption capacities.…”

Synergistic Effect of In2O3/NC-Co3O4 Interface on Enhancing the Redox Conversion of Polysulfides for High-Performance Li–S Cathode Materials at Low Temperatures

“…Recently, various strategies have been proposed to address the challenges in Li–S batteries, including cathode functionalization, − separator modification, − binder design, electrolyte optimization, , and anode protection . Compared with other approaches, cathode functionalization is widely recognized as the foremost method to address the notorious shuttle effect because it directly facilitates the charge transport and reaction kinetics of active materials. − Porous carbon, which is widely used as host materials, can form effective electron transport paths in the cathode due to excellent electronic conductivity and high specific surface area.…”
