The Importance of Sustainable Biomass Sources in the Development of Porous Carbonaceous Materials-Synthesis and Energy Applications: A Review

Abstract

In this review, a variety of planning methods for porous organic materials using different types of biomasses are compiled, and their functions are discussed. Improved pore architectures and variable surfaces were created in porous carbons manufactured from biomass. It is effective and sustainable to use biomass waste, which mostly consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. They assemble microtextured structures around one another in multi-channel configurations. The possibility of incorporating porous carbon compounds derived from biomass is being explored due to their distinct surface and structure. These "old type" carbons, which are produced through direct pyrolysis or physical or chemical activation, represent the instantaneous usage of biomass. There has been a lot of research on the chemical activation of biomass to create extremely effective activated porous carbons for gas collection.  They consist of a variety of small patterns, pore dispersions, and conductive spines and have adaptive physicochemical properties that permit their application as dynamic stage networks or electroactive materials. The structure of carbon-based materials obtained from biomass has the potential to improve electrochemical energy storage. Energy storage resources are required more frequently every day. Energy storage is essential to meet the energy demands resulting from the interruption of energy sources due to several circumstances. There are many uses for carbon materials, including the storage of energy, the filtration of water and air, and the storage of gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen (N₂), methane (CH₄), and hydrogen (H₂).  In this study, the advantages of cellulose-based systems as well as the latest developments and methods for creating high-capacity electronics are highlighted.
