“…From the viewpoint of sustainability, carbon materials derived from waste biomass are especially interesting . In recent years, carbons made from rice husks, corn or wheat straw, coir pith, soy bean residues (from tofu production), pistachio shells, wood chips or fibers, grass, pine pollen, lignin, tannic acid, or shrimp shells, among others, have been introduced as anode materials in lithium‐ or sodium‐based batteries. Similarly, all kinds of biowaste have been carbonized and used as host materials in the cathodes of lithium–sulfur, lithium–selenium, or lithium–oxygen batteries.…”

Sustainable sources of energy have been identified as a possible way out of today's oil dependency and are being rapidly developed. In contrast, storage of energy to a large extent still relies on heavy metals in batteries. Especially when built from biomass‐derived organics, organic batteries are promising alternatives and pave the way towards truly sustainable energy storage. First described in 2008, research on biomass‐derived electrodes has been taken up by a multitude of researchers worldwide. 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. On the other hand, a plethora of biomolecules, such as quinones, flavins, or carboxylates, contain redox‐active groups that can be used as redox‐active components in electrodes with very little chemical modification. Biomass‐based binders can replace toxic halogenated commercial binders to enable a truly sustainable future of energy storage devices. Besides the electrodes, electrolytes and separators may also be synthesized from biomass. In this Review, recent research progress in this rapidly emerging field is summarized with a focus on potentially fully biowaste‐derived batteries.

“…Previous works have demonstrated tannic acid (TA), which is a kind of oligomer of GA, is the good modifier for separator to reject dual polysulfide shuttle effect in lithium sulfur batteries . In order to improve the electrochemical performance of conventional metal oxide, TA was used as carbon source to form carbon shell on electrode materials surface to increase the discharge capacity and stability in LIBs . Sampath and Zhu et al attempted to apply TA and another oligomer, ellagic acid (EA) as electrode materials in LIBs directly, and 100 mAh g −1 discharge capacity at 40 mA g −1 after 250 cycles for TA (80 % retention) and 320 mAh g −1 discharge capacity at 53 mA g −1 after 30 cycles for EA (80 % retention) were exhibited .…”

Li/Na organic batteries have attracted the attention of researchers because of their flexibility, lightweight, and recyclability compared to the metal oxide‐based Li/Na‐ion batteries. The low specific capacity is a major problem for the application of Li/Na organic batteries. Herein, we found that the green and natural gallic acid derivatives, ellagic acid (EA, dimer) and tannic acid (TA, oligomer) are good anode materials for Li‐ and Na‐ion batteries due to their π‐π conjugated structures and abundant carbonyl, carboxyl, phenolic groups. Outstanding electrochemical performance in specific capacity and cycling stability are exhibited. 644, 364, 195, and 162 mAh g−1 for EA and 297, 451, 465, and 265 mAh g−1 for TA are obtained for Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) at current densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 A g−1 after 150, 250, 500, 1000 cycles, respectively. The specific capacities of EA and TA LIBs are higher than those of organic LIBs and can be comparable with metal oxide LIBs. And the cycling stabilities of EA and TA LIBs are better. Meanwhile, EA and TA are universal anode materials, which enable us to construct Na‐ion batteries that show specific capacity of 105 mAh g−1 for EA and 46 mAh g−1 for TA at 50 mA g−1 after 350 cycles. This work provides us important inspirations for exploring organic materials from nature, which can be applied in green and high‐performance energy‐storage devices.

Surface coating with multifunctional properties has been of great interest, owing to their potential in various applications such as anti-corrosion, catalysis or targeted drug delivery system. Various techniques including electrospinning, dip coating or layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition have been widely used. Especially the latter one has shown some advantages over other techniques such as substrate-surface independence, fine tuning of coating layer composition or thickness. However, timeconsuming processes, difficulty to be up-scaled are the main drawback of this method for the practical applications.Very recently, an extremely rapid, one-step coating method consisting in coordination complex of metal ions (e.g., Fe +3 ) with natural polyphenols (e.g., tannic acid) was reported. 1 These metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) can be deposited on the surface of substrate by simple mixing of abovementioned coating components in one-pot without any further treatment ( Figure 1). The formation of MPNs occurs through the following mechanism: metal ions or polyphenolic ligands are firstly adsorbed on the surface of substrate, then the pyrogallol moieties are crosslinked with chelating metal ions. Apart from its simple process, the main advantages of MPN are that (1) the coating can be achieved in less than 1 min, (2) the thickness can be easily controlled by adjusting the concentration of coating components, (3) multiple coating layers with different chemical composition is possible via the LbL approach, and (4) the stability of coating can be modulated by changing metal ions or polyphenols, for example using di-, tri-or tetra coordinating ions (Cu 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ti 4+ ). 2 Like other common metal-ligand complexes, MPNs are highly sensitive to variation of pH, which enable them to be used as promising drug delivery system. MPNs might coat surfaces of porous inorganic (e.g., CaCO 3 , silica) 3,4 or polymeric spherical capsules, 5 where the drug is readily loaded. Lowering pH from 7.4 to 5, promotes MPNs disassembly and thus triggered drug release. More importantly, the disassembly rate at low pH depends on the nature of metal ions. For instance, MPNs with tetra-valent metal ions (e.g., Zr 4+ ) are generally more stable than di-valent metal ions (e.g., Cu 2+ ). MPNs crosslinking Fe 3+ or Al 3+ have 9-12 h half-life time of disassembling at pH 5. Thus, these coating layers are suitable candidates not only for extended drug release vector, but also for target drug delivery in cancer tissues, where the pH value (around 5-6) is lower than in physiological condition (pH 7.4). 3 Asides from pH-responsive feature, metal ions of MPNs can be used for their instinct properties, for example, Gd 3+ in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with enhanced nuclear relaxation rates. Mixing with other metal ion (e.g., Cu 2+ and Eu 3+ ) in the framework of MPNs is also possible, providing, in this case, dual responsive characters to positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorescence imaging for X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping analysis. 6 Moreover, most o...
