“…Activated carbon or fine‐dispersed flake or spherical graphite is used as cathode materials for improving the performance of aluminum ion batteries. The specific capacity of activated carbon in an aluminum‐ion battery is higher (117 mAh g −1 at 75 mA g −1 and 2.5 V) than that of the graphite (59 mAh g −1 ) 186.…”

“…But, it has a modest capacity of 60–70 mAh g −1 which is rather low compared to LIBs (372 mAh g −1 ) due to the large size of the AlCl 4− ions (295 pm) which hinders intercalation or oxidation of graphite 183, 185. In such situation, researchers have attempted to overcome the issues by employing carbon derivative materials such as activated carbon, fine‐dispersed flake, spherical graphite 186, trihigh tricontinuous (3H3C) graphene film 187, carbon nanotubes 188, 189 and carbon nanoscrolls 190. The graphene film (3H3C) has high specific capacity ∼120 mAh g −1 , better rate capability and cycle life but the preparation of graphene films is complicated due to high energy consumption which impedes its mass production 187.…”

The utility of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) based electrodes prepared from biomass has drawn the attention of the scientists and industrialists due to their structural diversities, tuneable physical or chemical properties, and economical, environmental, and social considerations. As the raw material for the production of CQDs is abundantly available in nature at low‐cost any technological know‐how is bound to be sustainable. These carbon quantum dots with porous structure have ideal architecture, physicochemical properties, amenability for doping with heteroatoms, good electrical conductivity thus making them very attractive for electrochemical energy storage. In this paper, application potentialities of various metal ion batteries (Li+, Na+, K+, Al2+, and Zn2+) using nanostructured carbon materials, Columbic efficiency, cyclic ability, reversible discharge capacity, current density, dimensional effects and cost considerations are brought into close focus.

“…Shkolnikov et al [ 87 ] prepared AC from birch sawdust that performed well as an AB cathode compared to commercial porous carbon, CMK-3 [ 87 , 88 ]. They carbonized the birch sawdust at 400 °C which was later activated with NaOH (4 wt.%) by heating at 700 °C that resulted in AC with a high surface area of 3300 m 2 g −1 (SSA) and 1230 mm 3 g −1 of micropore volume [ 89 ].…”

Sustainable Biomass-Derived Carbon Electrodes for Potassium and Aluminum Batteries: Conceptualizing the Key Parameters for Improved Performance

et al. 2023

The development of sustainable, safe, low-cost, high energy and density power-density energy storage devices is most needed to electrify our modern needs to reach a carbon-neutral society by ~2050. Batteries are the backbones of future sustainable energy sources for both stationary off-grid and mobile plug-in electric vehicle applications. Biomass-derived carbon materials are extensively researched as efficient and sustainable electrode/anode candidates for lithium/ sodium-ion chemistries due to their well-developed tailored textures (closed pores and defects) and large microcrystalline interlayer spacing and therefore opens-up their potential applications in sustainable potassium and aluminum batteries. The main purpose of this perspective is to brief the use of biomass residues for the preparation of carbon electrodes for potassium and aluminum batteries annexed to the biomass-derived carbon physicochemical structures and their aligned electrochemical properties. In addition, we presented an outlook as well as some challenges faced in this promising area of research. We believe that this review enlightens the readers with useful insights and a reasonable understanding of issues and challenges faced in the preparation, physicochemical properties and application of biomass-derived carbon materials as anodes and cathode candidates for potassium and aluminum batteries, respectively. In addition, this review can further help material scientists to seek out novel electrode materials from different types of biomasses, which opens up new avenues in the fabrication/development of next-generation sustainable and high-energy density batteries.

Herein, a sustainable graphitic carbon derived from waste polystyrene plastics (PS‐G) has been developed and a proof of concept for the integration of organic solar cells, Al‐ion batteries, and piezoresistive sensors based on PS‐G electrodes has been provided. First, a flexible organic solar cell (OSC) with the PS‐G interfacial layer between the photoactive material and the Al metal has enhanced charge extraction mobility with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.5%. A new range of possibilities in metal:semiconductor:carbon:metal contact and interfacial tuning in OSCs are made possible by the fact that pure PS‐G without Al can successfully extract electrons with a PCE of 0.89%. Second, when used as the cathode in an Al–carbon battery, PS‐G demonstrates a specific capacity of 148 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1. At different current densities, PS‐G cathodes demonstrate high cycling stability (with 65% capacity retention over 100 cycles). Finally, the best of the fabricated OSCs and the Al–carbon batteries are then combined with a piezoresistive sensor that includes an active PS‐G electrode. The battery‐powered sensor has a resistance of 40–45 × 104 Ω while the solar‐powered sensor has a resistance of 32–35 × 104 Ω, when subjected to mechanical stimuli, with a tensile strength of 20 N.
