“…Assembling of All-Solid-State MXene/Chitin-Based Supercapacitor: Using the knowledge and experience in biopolymer-based electrolytes, [41][42][43] we decided to adopt chitin also as a part of the solid-state electrolyte dedicated to the proposed supercapacitor device. The all-solid-state MXene/chitin-based supercapacitor was manufactured in a symmetrical sandwich configuration.…”

Biopolymer‐based materials have recently received great interest as potential components for wearable energy‐storage devices. They can offer attractive and valuable properties such as renewability, biocompatibility, thermal and chemical stability, flexibility, durability, and biodegradability. Herein, a wearable and flexible all‐solid‐state supercapacitor that uses chitin as a biocompatible scaffold for integrating all device components, such as electrodes and an electrolyte, is developed. Chitin provides mechanical stability to electrode materials and supports the ionic liquid‐based gel electrolyte, and it also acts as a bonding agent to integrate all those components. Additionally, titanium carbide MXene is used as an active material for the proposed power source device. The MXene/chitin‐based all‐solid‐state supercapacitor exhibits impressive electrochemical performance, showing outstanding electrode conductivity, high capacitance, low internal resistance, high power density, and long‐term cycling stability. Moreover, it provides highly desired features concerning wearable devices, that is, excellent flexibility and mechanical strength under bending deformations, as well as sustainability and biodegradability. As a proof of concept, the MXene/chitin‐base device is applied for powering an electronic gadget. Herein, an important step is represented toward power‐efficient, wearable, and sustainable energy‐storage devices.

“…The difference in the binding capacities may be due to heterogeneity in the crystal structure formation, the number of salt groups taking part in the crystal formation, and total residual protein content (Kumari & Kishor, 2020). Nevertheless, El-Shishtawy et al (2021) and Kasprzak and Galiński (2021) claimed that chitin extracted from different sources is insoluble in water and most organic solvents and this restricts the usage of chitin to industrial scale production. To alleviate the application of chitin, various systems of dissolution, physical, and chemical methods have been investigated to modify the properties of chitin so that the binding or gumming nature can be improved (Lv et al, 2023).…”

In recent years, the extraction, processing, and application of edible gums, in the food and healthcare sector has skyrocketed and extensively explored. Edible gums are derived from multiple sources such as plants/trees, animals, microorganisms, and seaweed. Edible gums are typically employed to perform certain functions including modification of rheology, gel formation, stability, encapsulation, and fat replacement. The unique interaction of edible gums with food molecules enables the achievement of desired characteristics of specific food products belonging to various sectors. This review delivers a comprehensive understanding of the classification and characterization of edible gums and their applications in the food industry. Despite several advantages offered by edible gums, there exist certain challenges that are encountered during commercialization by manufacturers and proposed strategies to overcome the hurdles, regulatory aspects, and safety of edible gums upon consumption have been highlighted in this review.

The search for biocompatible and renewable materials for the next generation of energy devices has led to increasing interest in using biopolymers as a matrix component for the development of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). However, using biopolymers as host matrices presents limitations in performance and scalability. At the same time, ionic liquids (ILs) have shown exceptional properties as non-aqueous electrolytes. This review intends to highlight the progress in integrating ILs and biopolymers for EDLC. While ILs have been used as solvents to process biopolymers and electrolyte materials, biopolymers have been utilized to provide novel chemistries of electrolyte materials via one of the following scenarios: (1) acting as host polymeric matrices for IL-support, (2) performing as polymeric fillers, and (3) serving as backbone polymer substrates for synthetic polymer grafting. Each of these scenarios is discussed in detail and supported with several examples. The use of biopolymers as electrode materials is another topic covered in this review, where biopolymers are used as a source of carbon or as a flexible support for conductive materials. This review also highlights current challenges in materials development, including improvements in robustness and conductivity, and proper dispersion and compatibility of biopolymeric and synthetic polymeric matrices for proper interface bonding.
