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.

“…The chemical tunability and versatility in redox potentials of these biomaterials are advantageous to the rational design of hybrid electrode materials with desired electrochemical properties. In recent years, a large class of redox‐active biomolecules and biopolymers, with the quinone group as main redox center, has been studied as an energy storage material . The quinone/hydroquinone (Q/QH 2 ) couple is an aromatic compounds with six carbon and two oxygen atoms that can be sequentially coupled with two protons, resulting in high charge capacity of 496 mAh g −1 .…”

[57][58][59][60][61][62][63] The quinone/hydroquinone (Q/QH 2 ) couple is an aromatic compounds with six carbon and two oxygen atoms that can be sequentially coupled with two protons, resulting in high charge capacity of 496 mAh g −1 . [24] Moreover, other cations such as lithium or sodium ions can coordinate to the negatively charged oxygen atoms upon electrochemical reduction of the carbonyl groups, and detach during the reverse oxidation, opening the possibility of using biomacromolecules with quinones for supercapacitors and lithium/sodium-ion batteries.…”

The development of energy storage devices with higher energy and power outputs, and long cycling stability is urgently required in the pursuit of the expanding challenges of electrical energy storage. The utilization of biologically renewable redox compounds holds a great potential in designing sustainable energy storage systems and contributes in reducing the dependence on fossil fuels for energy materials. Quinones are the principal redox centers in natural organic materials and play a key role as charge storage electrode materials because of their abundance, multiple forms and integration into the materials flow through the biosphere. Electrical energy storage devices and systems can be significantly improved by the combination of scalable quinone‐based biomaterials with good electronic conductors. This review uses recent examples to show how biopolymers are providing new directions in the development of renewable biohybrid electrodes for energy storage devices.

“…PEDOT constitutes the majority of the electrode, which limits the sustainability of such am aterial. [16] In polymer-based electrodes, redox-active polymers are always mixed with conductive additives such as carbon nano-tubes, [17] porous carbons, [9,10,15,18] and conductive polymers, [3,19] all of which contributes ignificant capacitive energy storage. Both cyclic voltammograms and galvanostaticm easurements of the mixed cathode materials are used to show influences of both distinct redox-activeg roups (high current only at distinct voltages in cyclic voltammetry and plateau-like galvanostatic behavior) and capacitive behavior (rectangular cyclic voltammogram and triangularg alvanostatic curve).…”

Although several recent publications describe cathodes for electrochemical energy storage materials made from regrown biomass in aqueous electrolytes, their transfer to lithium–organic batteries is challenging. To gain a deeper understanding, we investigate the influences on charge storage in model systems based on biomass‐derived, redox‐active compounds and comparable structures. Hybrid materials from these model polymers and porous carbon are compared to determine precisely the causes of exceptional capacity in lithium–organic systems. Besides redox activity, particularly, wettability influences capacity of the composites greatly. Furthermore, in addition to biomass‐derived molecules with catechol functionalities, which are described commonly as redox‐active species in lithium–bio‐organic systems, we further describe guaiacol groups as a promising alternative for the first time and compare the performance of the respective compounds.
