“…In Luo and coworkers' study, the Fe, N co-doped porous carbon (Fe-MNC) catalyst obtained from corn stalk soot (CSS) (Fig. 8d) can catalyze water oxidation efficiently (η 10 = 309 mV) [141]. This study also investigated the importance of chemical precursors on the nanostructure and electronic properties of catalysts.…”

The sustainable production of green hydrogen via water electrolysis necessitates cost-effective electrocatalysts. By following the circular economy principle, the utilization of waste-derived catalysts significantly promotes the sustainable development of green hydrogen energy. Currently, diverse waste-derived catalysts have exhibited excellent catalytic performance toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and overall water electrolysis (OWE). Herein, we systematically examine recent achievements in waste-derived electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. The general principles of water electrolysis and design principles of efficient electrocatalysts are discussed, followed by the illustration of current strategies for transforming wastes into electrocatalysts. Then, applications of waste-derived catalysts (i.e., carbon-based catalysts, transitional metal-based catalysts, and carbon-based heterostructure catalysts) in HER, OER, and OWE are reviewed successively. An emphasis is put on correlating the catalysts’ structure–performance relationship. Also, challenges and research directions in this booming field are finally highlighted. This review would provide useful insights into the design, synthesis, and applications of waste-derived electrocatalysts, and thus accelerate the development of the circular economy-driven green hydrogen energy scheme.

“…A microporous carbon nanosheets (F-MNC) with the Fe-N 4 -C structure is derived from corn straw insufficient soot, which is reported by Wang and his colleague. For ORR catalytic activity, the Zn–O 2 battery with F-MNC cathode obtained a positive E 1/2 of 0.85 V. Moreover, the Zn–O 2 battery possessed desirable catalytic activity for OER with an overpotential of 390 mV under 10 mA cm −2 and a Tafel slope of 127 mV dec −1 [ 95 ]. Compared with plant-biomass, animal-derived carbon is significantly less used in metal–air batteries, which is mainly attributed to its poor specific surface area and pore structure.…”

Facing the challenges of energy crisis and global warming, the development of renewable energy has received more and more attention. To offset the discontinuity of renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy, it is urgent to search for an excellent performance energy storage system to match them. Metal–air batteries (typical representative: Li–air battery and Zn–air battery) have broad prospects in the field of energy storage due to their high specific capacity and environmental friendliness. The drawbacks preventing the massive application of metal–air batteries are the poor reaction kinetics and high overpotential during the charging–discharging process, which can be alleviated by the application of an electrochemical catalyst and porous cathode. Biomass, also, as a renewable resource, plays a critical role in the preparation of carbon-based catalysts and porous cathode with excellent performance for metal–air batteries due to the inherent rich heteroatom and pore structure of biomass. In this paper, we have reviewed the latest progress in the creative preparation of porous cathode for the Li–air battery and Zn–air battery from biomass and summarized the effects of various biomass sources precursors on the composition, morphology and structure-activity relationship of cathode. This review will help us understand the relevant applications of biomass carbon in the field of metal–air batteries.
