“…Carbon materials in porous carbon, nanowires, and nanofibers have been highly considered for electrochemical energy storage due to their good chemical stability, high electronic conductivity, and large specific surface area [134][135][136]. This has led to using carbon materials for supercapacitors, lithium-ion, and sodium-ion batteries [28,137,138]. Notably, heteroatom doping and manipulation of the dimensionality of carbon materials have achieved significantly high energy density in supercapacitors [139].…”

This comprehensive review addresses the need for sustainable and efficient energy storage technologies against escalating global energy demand and environmental concerns. It explores the innovative utilization of waste materials from oil refineries and coal processing industries as precursors for carbon-based electrodes in next-generation energy storage systems, including batteries and supercapacitors. These waste-derived carbon materials, such as semi-coke, coal gasification fine ash, coal tar pitch, petroleum coke, and petroleum vacuum residue, offer a promising alternative to conventional electrode materials. They present an optimal balance of high carbon content and enhanced electrochemical properties while promoting environmental sustainability through effectively repurposing waste materials from coal and hydrocarbon industries. This review systematically examines recent advancements in fabricating and applying waste-derived carbon-based electrodes. It delves into the methodologies for converting industrial by-products into high-quality carbon electrodes, with a particular emphasis on carbonization and activation processes tailored to enhance the electrochemical performance of the derived materials. Key findings indicate that while higher carbonization temperatures may impede the development of a porous structure, using KOH as an activating agent has proven effective in developing mesoporous structures conducive to ion transport and storage. Moreover, incorporating heteroatom doping (with elements such as sulfur, potassium, and nitrogen) has shown promise in enhancing surface interactions and facilitating the diffusion process through increased availability of active sites, thereby demonstrating the potential for improved storage capabilities. The electrochemical performance of these waste-derived carbon materials is evaluated across various configurations and electrolytes. Challenges and future directions are identified, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the microstructural characteristics that influence electrochemical performance and advocating for interdisciplinary research to achieve precise control over material properties. This review contributes to advancing electrode material technology and promotes environmental sustainability by repurposing industrial waste into valuable resources for energy storage. It underscores the potential of waste-derived carbon materials in sustainably meeting global energy storage demands.

“…This limitation is attributed to the presence of heavy materials in electrolytes (such as sulfuric acid) and electrodes (like lead) and the necessity of several inactive components (e.g., separator and container) for a complete system. However, their eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness cannot be overlooked [27,28].…”

Ni3S2 is a kind of transition metal sulfide (TMD) with excellent electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity. To further enhance the specific capacity of Ni3S2-based supercapacitors, we synthesize several nanosheet-decorated Ni3S2@NiMo-LDH nanostructures by a combination of hydrothermal and electrodeposition processes. The mesoporous structure provides a large number of electroactive sites, which shortens the charge transfer distance and increases the specific surface area of electrode materials. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor shows an energy density of 62.8 W h kg−1 at 2701.6 W kg−1 and long-term cycling stability.

This study introduces a novel approach for synthesizing biomass derived carbon from date leaves waste, employing a straightforward combination of pyrolysis and ball milling processes. This process yields active carbon in submicron and nanometer sizes, characterized by detailed surface, structural, and compositional analyses, confirming suitability of the materials for electrochemical applications. Utilizing this synthesized carbon, we have developed a modified glassy carbon electrode (DLSNC/GCE) for the highly-sensitive and simultaneous detection of phenolic contaminants, specifically 1-naphthol (1-NP) and 2-naphthol (2-NP), which are crucial for environmental monitoring. The study describes two innovative fabrication methods for electrochemical sensors. The first method controls the direct oxidation of 1-NP and 2-NP, while the second method exploits redox peaks associated with quinone formation from dihydroxy naphthalene, revealing superior analytical performance for the simultaneous detection of the analytes. The electrochemical sensor demonstrated exceptional sensitivity and selectivity towards 1-NP and 2-NP. This revolution emphasizes the potential of using date leaves-derived carbon materials in constructing low-cost, efficient electrochemical sensors for environmental monitoring and electrochemical applications.
