“…The KOH-treated AC obtained the smaller SSA (186 m 2 g −1 ) than the ZnCl 2 -prepared carbon (192 m 2 g −1 ). However, the KOH AC presented a higher presence of functional groups on its surface, and this would probably influence the electrochemical performance, since, for instance, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous functionalities can enhance the electrochemical effects by improving the wettability of porous carbon in contact with electrolytes [55,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65].…”

“…In the chemical activation step, the biomass is combined and mixed with chemical reagents (ZnCl 2 , KOH, NaOH, H 3 PO 4 , K 2 CO 3 , and FeCl 3 ) at desired ratios to obtain ACs with desired properties [ 9 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. This step is essential in which the pyrolysis and activation are simultaneously performed which might have a significant influence in the pyrolytic decomposition of the precursor and, therefore, resulting in the development of highly porous structures and functionalities on the carbon surface [ 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. ZnCl 2 and KOH are the most employed chemical reagents for preparing ACs [ 54 , 57 ].…”

: Some recent developments in the preparation of biomass carbon electrodes (CEs) using various biomass residues for application in energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors, are presented in this work. The application of biomass residues as the primary precursor for the production of CEs has been increasing over the last years due to it being a renewable source with comparably low processing cost, providing prerequisites for a process that is economically and technically sustainable. Electrochemical energy storage technology is key to the sustainable development of autonomous and wearable electronic devices. This article highlights the application of various types of biomass in the production of CEs by using different types of pyrolysis and experimental conditions and denotes some possible effects on their final characteristics. An overview is provided on the use of different biomass types for the synthesis of CEs with efficient electrochemical properties for batteries and supercapacitors. This review showed that, from different biomass residues, it is possible to obtain CEs with different electrochemical properties and that they can be successfully applied in high-performance batteries and supercapacitors. As the research and development of producing CEs still faces a gap by linking the type and composition of biomass residues with the carbon electrodes’ electrochemical performances in supercapacitor and battery applications, this work tries to diminish this gap. Physical and chemical characteristics of the CEs, such as porosity, chemical composition, and surface functionalities, are reflected in the electrochemical performances. It is expected that this review not only provides the reader with a good overview of using various biomass residues in the energy storage applications, but also highlights some goals and challenges remaining in the future research and development of this topic.

“…Fast pyrolysis and alkaline chemical activation was used by Chen et al [230] for the conversion of rotten food waste into an activated biochar with a capacitance of 488 F/g. Herbaceous feedstocks were diffusely studied for electrodes production and feedstock like hemp [231] and several flowers [232,233] have been used for supercapacitor realization.…”

Biochar is the solid residue that is recovered after the thermal cracking of biomasses in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Biochar has been used for many years as a soil amendment and in general soil applications. Nonetheless, biochar is far more than a mere soil amendment. In this review, we report all the non-soil applications of biochar including environmental remediation, energy storage, composites, and catalyst production. We provide a general overview of the recent uses of biochar in material science, thus presenting this cheap and waste-derived material as a high value-added and carbonaceous source.
