“…The current precursors include resin-based (e.g., phenolic resins, epoxy resins), [33,34] polymer-based (e.g., polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylpyrrolidone), [35][36][37][38] biomass-based (e.g., cellulose, lignin), [24,39,40] carbohydrate-based (e.g., sucrose, dextrose), [41] and synthetic wastes, [42,43] and other feedstocks, Moreover biomass-based materials can be prepared by different plant precursors. [44][45][46][47][48] Yu et al [49] used sugarcane bagasse as feedstock, which could provide a reversible capacity of 315.3 mAh g À1 by pyrolysis treatment and microwave activation. Song et al [46] synthesized hard carbon by using corn cob as a feedstock at pyrolysis temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1600 °C, and as the pyrolysis temperature increases, the number of graphite microcrystalline layers increases, generating a pore structure with wider distribution and larger size, improving the specific capacity, initial coulombic efficiency (ICE), and multiplicity performance.…”
