“…However, when integrated into the existing electrical grid systems, the intermittent nature of e.g. solar and wind energy generation is likely to cause grid instability [1]. As a result, the widespread integration/adoption of energy from renewable resources relies on low-cost, scalable, and stable storage systems [2].…”

Practical utilisation of renewable energy from intermittent sustainable sources such as solar and wind relies on safe, reliable, cost-effective, and high-capacity energy storage systems to be incorporated in the grid. Among the most promising technologies aimed towards this application are sodium-ion batteries. Currently, hard carbon is the leading negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries given its relatively good electrochemical performance and low cost. Furthermore, hard carbon can be produced from a diverse range of readily available waste and renewable biomass sources making this an ideal material for the circular economy. In facilitating future developments on the use of hard carbon-based electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries, this review curates several analytical techniques that have been useful in providing structure-property insight and stresses the need for overall assessment to be based on a combination of complementary techniques. It also emphasises several key challenges in the characterisation of hard carbons and how various in situ and operando techniques can help unravel those challenges by providing us with a better understanding of these systems during operation thereby allowing us to design high-performance hard carbon materials for next-generation batteries.

“…In fact, upon reduction, Li + can chemisorb in the micro-and nano-pores forming C/Li clusters, going beyond the LiC 6 stoichiometry expected from the graphite intercalation. This mechanism has been proved to be highly reversible in oxidation and highly efficient for hundreds of cycles [48,49]. In this respect, porosities provide active sites for lithium storage, especially in the irradiated carbon material, where we observe a remarkable sponge-like morphology.…”

Pyrolyzed carbons from bio-waste sources are renewable nanomaterials for sustainable negative electrodes in Li- and Na-ion batteries. Here, carbon derived from a hazelnut shell has been obtained by hydrothermal processing of the bio-waste followed by thermal treatments and laser irradiation in liquid. A non-focused nanosecond pulsed laser source has been used to irradiate pyrolyzed carbon particles suspended in acetonitrile to modify the surface and morphology. Morphological, structural, and compositional changes have been investigated by microscopy, spectroscopy, and diffraction to compare the materials properties after thermal treatments as well as before and after the irradiation. Laser irradiation in acetonitrile induces remarkable alteration in the nanomorphology, increase in the surface area and nitrogen enrichment of the carbon surfaces. These materials alterations are beneficial for the electrochemical performance in lithium half cells as proved by galvanostatic cycling at room temperature.

“…Metal as anode electrode is used due to its conductivity and electron flow [84]. Metals have low interfacial impedance and low internal resistance compared to carbon-based materials [85]. However, they have a smooth surface that does not favor the growth of microorganisms.…”

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) and microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) are promising technologies for wastewater treatment and generation of electricity from organic matter. The application of MBRs is limited due to membrane fouling and high energy consumption. The novel design of the coupling system of microbial fuel cell and membrane bioreactor (MFC-MBR), which efficiently combines microbial degradation in MFCs and uses the microelectric field to reduce and mitigate membrane fouling in MBR. The fundamentals of extracellular electron transport, the performance of MFCs, different types of MBR systems, and the novelty of the MFC-MBR coupling system for wastewater treatment are reviewed.
