Abstract
Due to the almost unlimited resource and acceptable performance, Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been regarded as a promising alternative for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for grid-scale energy storage. As the key material of SIBs, hard carbon (HC) plays a decisive role in determining the batteries' performance. Nevertheless, the micro-structure of HCs is quite complex and the random organization of turbostratically stacked graphene layers, closed pores, and defects make the structure-performance relationship insufficiently revealed. On the other hand, the impending large-scale deployment of SIBs leads to producing HCs with low-cost and abundant precursors actively pursued. In this work, the recent progress of preparing HCs from different precursors including biomass, polymers, and fossil fuels is summarized with close attention to the influences of precursors on the structural evolution of HCs. After a brief introduction of the structural features of HCs, the recent understanding of the structure-performance relationship of HCs for sodium storage is summarized. Then, the main focus is concentrated on the progress of producing HCs from distinct precursors. After that, the pros and cons of HCs derived from different precursors are comprehensively compared to conclude the selection rules of precursors. Finally, the further directions of HCs are deeply discussed to end this review.

Abstract
Because of its abundant resources, low cost and high reversible specific capacity, hard carbon (HC) is considered as the most likely commercial anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Therefore, reasonable design and effective strategies to regulate the structure of HCs play a crucial role in promoting the development of SIBs. Herein, the progress in the preparation approaches for HC anode materials is systematically overviewed, with a special focus on the comparison between traditional fabrication methods and advanced strategies emerged in recent years in terms of their influence on performance, including preparation efficiency, initial coulombic efficiency (ICE), specific capacity and rate capability. Furthermore, the advanced strategies are categorized into two groups: those exhibiting potential for large-scale production to replace traditional methods and those presenting guidelines for achieving high-performance HC anodes from top-level design. Finally, challenges and future development prospects to achieve high-performance HC anodes are also proposed. We believe that this review will provide beneficial guidance to actualize the truly rational design of advanced HC anodes, facilitating the industrialization of SIBs and assisting in formulating design rules for developing high-end advanced electrode materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
In this work, we report on an improved cell assembly of cylindrical electrochemical cells for 23 Na in-situ solid-state NMR (ssNMR) investigations. The cell set-up is suitable for using powder electrode materials. Reproducibility of our cell assembly is analyzed by preparing two cells containing hard carbon (HC) powder as working electrode and sodium metal as reference electrode. Electrochemical storage properties of HC powder electrode derived from carbonization of sustainable cellulose are studied by ssNMR. 23 Na in-situ ssNMR monitors the sodiation/desodiation of a Na|NaPF6 |HC cell (cell 1) over a period of 22 days, showing high cell stability. After the galvanostatic process, the HC powder material is investigated by high resolution 23 Na ex-situ MAS NMR. The formation of ionic sodium species in different chemical environments is obtained. Subsequently, a second Na|NaPF6 |HC cell (cell 2) is sodiated for 11 days achieving a capacity of 220 mAh/g. 23 Na ex-situ MAS NMR measurements of the HC powder material extracted from this cell clearly indicate the presence of quasi-metallic sodium species next to ionic sodium species. This observation of quasi-metallic sodium species is discussed in terms of the achieved capacity of the cell as well as of side reactions of sodium in this electrode material.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:1016. [PMID: 38473489 DOI: 10.3390/ma17051016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The key technological implementation of sodium-ion batteries is converting biomass-derived hard carbons into effective anode materials. This becomes feasible if appropriate knowledge of the relations between the structure of carbonized biomass products, the mineral ash content in them, and Na storage properties is gained. In this study, we examine the simultaneous impact of the ash phase composition and carbon structure on the Na storage properties of hard carbons derived from spent coffee grounds (SCGs). The carbon structure is modified using the pre-carbonization of SCGs at 750 °C, followed by annealing at 1100 °C in an Ar atmosphere. Two variants of the pre-carbonization procedure are adopted: the pre-carbonization of SCGs in a fixed bed and CO2 flow. For the sake of comparison, the pre-carbonized products are chemically treated to remove the ash content. The Na storage performance of SCG-derived carbons is examined in model two and three Na-ion cells. It was found that ash-containing carbons outperformed the ash-free analogs with respect to cycling stability, Coulombic efficiency, and rate capability. The enhanced performance is explained in terms of the modification of the carbon surface by ash phases (mainly albite) and its interaction with the electrolyte, which is monitored by ex situ XPS.

Abstract
In the context of rampant growth of invasive plants, finding suitable ways for resource utilization has become the optimal choice for invasive plant management. In the field of energy storage, sodium-ion batteries have been limited by the lack of appropriate anode materials, and hard carbon stands out as the most promising candidate. Therefore, this study focuses on the preparation of biomass-derived carbons from three invasive plant species, namely Spartina alterniflora Loisel., Solidago canadensis L., and Erigeron canadensis L., through high-temperature carbonization. The resulting biomass carbons are then subjected to cleaning and activation processes to prepare sodium-ion anode materials. The internal structure of the materials was characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and BET. The materials exhibited a significant amount of pore structures, with interlayer spacing around 0.37 nm, which is larger than the original graphite interlayer spacing. The plant anode materials were assembled into full batteries for cyclic charge/discharge tests. The results show that all three anode materials have good multiplicative performance and excellent cyclable charge/discharge. After 100 cycles at a current of 50 mA in the voltage range of 0-3.0 V, the reversible capacities of the three materials reached 245.3, 207.19, and 227.12 mAh/g, respectively. Among them, the material derived from Spartina alterniflora maintained a capacity of 141.63 mAh/g even after 1000 cycles at a current of 200 mA, demonstrating the best capacity performance.

Abstract
Hard carbon materials are considered to be the most practical anode materials for sodium ion batteries because of the rich availability of their resources and potentially low cost. Here, the conversion of corn leaf biomass, a largely available agricultural waste, into carbonaceous materials for Na-ion storage application is reported. Thermal analysis investigation determines the presence of exothermic events occurring during the thermal treatment of the biomass. Accordingly, various temperatures of 400, 500, and 600 °C are selected to perform carbonization treatment trials, leading to the formation of various biocarbons. The materials obtained are characterized by a combination of methods, including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, surface evaluation, Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical characterizations. The Na-ion storage performances of these materials are investigated using water-soluble carboxymethyl cellulose binder, highlighting the influence of the carbonization temperature on the electrochemical performance of biocarbons. Moreover, the influence of post-mechanochemical treatment on the Na-ion storage performance of biocarbons is studied through kinetic evaluations. It is confirmed that reducing the particle sizes and increasing the carbon purity of biocarbons and the formation of gel polymeric networks would improve the Na-ion storage capacity, as well as the pseudocapacitive contribution to the total current. At a high-current density of 500 mA g-1, a specific Na-ion storage capacity of 134 mAh g-1 is recorded on the biocarbon prepared at 600 °C, followed by ball-milling and washing treatment, exhibiting a reduced charge transfer resistance of 49 Ω and an improved Na-ion diffusion coefficient of 4.8 × 10-19 cm2 s-1. This article proposes a simple and effective technique for the preparation of low-cost biocarbons to be used as the anode of Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Hard carbons (HC) from natural biowaste have been investigated as anodes for sodium-ion batteries in electrolytes based on 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([EMI][FSI]) and N-trimethyl-N-butylammonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([N1114][FSI]) ionic liquids. The Na+ intercalation process has been analyzed by cyclic voltammetry tests, performed at different scan rates for hundreds of cycles, in combination with impedance spectroscopy measurements to decouple bulk and interfacial resistances of the cells. The Na+ diffusion coefficient in the HC host has been also evaluated via the Randles-Sevcik equation. Battery performance of HC anodes in the ionic liquid electrolytes has been evaluated in galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles at room temperature. The evolution of the SEI (solid electrochemical interface) layer grown on the HC surface has been carried out by Raman spectroscopy. Overall the sodiation process of the HC host is highly reversible and reproducible. In particular, a capacity retention exceeding 98 % of the initial value has been recorded in[N1114][FSI] electrolytes after more than 1500 cycles with a coulombic efficiency above 99 %, largely beyond standard carbonate-based electrolytes. Raman, transport properties and impedance confirms that ILs disclose the formation of SEI layers with superior ability to support the reversible Na+ intercalation with the possible minor contributions from the EMI+cation.

Abstract
Biochar is considered a good activator for use in advanced oxidation technology. However, dissolved solids (DS) released from biochar cause unstable activation efficiency. Biochar prepared from saccharification residue of barley straw (BC-SR) had less DS than that prepared directly from barley straw (BC-O). Moreover, BC-SR had a higher C content, degree of aromatization, and electrical conductivity than BC-O. Although the effects of BC-O and BC-SR on activation of Persulfate (PS) to remove phenol were similar, the activation effect of DS from BC-O was 73% higher than that of DS from BC-SR. Moreover, the activation effect of DS was shown to originate from its functional groups. Importantly, BC-SR had higher activation stability than BC-O owing to the stable graphitized carbon structure of BC-SR. Identification of reactive oxygen species showed that SO4•-, •OH, and 1O2 were all effective in degradation by BC-SR/PS and BC-O/PS systems, but their relative contributions differed. Furthermore, BC-SR as an activator showed high anti-interference ability in the complex groundwater matrix, indicating it has practical application value. Overall, this study provides novel insight that can facilitate the design and optimization of a green, economical, stable, and efficient biochar-activated PS for groundwater organic pollution remediation.

Abstract
Biowastes from agriculture, sewage, household wastes, and industries comprise promising resources to produce biomaterials while reducing adverse environmental effects. This study focused on utilising waste-derived materials (i.e., eggshells as a calcium source, struvite as a phosphate source, and CH3COOH as dissolution media) to produce value-added products (i.e., calcium phosphates (CaPs) derived from biomaterials) using a continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis route. The prepared materials were characterised via XRD, FEG-SEM, EDX, FTIR, and TEM analysis. Magnesium whitlockite (Mg-WH) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were produced by single-phase or biphasic CaPs by reacting struvite with either calcium nitrate tetrahydrate or an eggshell solution at 200 °C and 350 °C. Rhombohedral-shaped Mg-WH (23-720 nm) along with tube (50-290 nm diameter, 20-71 nm thickness) and/or ellipsoidal morphologies of HA (273-522 nm width) were observed at 350 °C using HNO3 or CH3COOH to prepare the eggshell and struvite solutions, and NH4OH was used as the pH buffer. The Ca/P (atomic%) ratios obtained ranged between 1.3 and 1.7, indicating the formation of Mg-WH and HA. This study showed that eggshells and struvite usage, along with CH3COOH, are promising resources as potential sustainable precursors and dissolution media, respectively, to produce CaPs with varying morphologies.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are postulated as sustainable energy storage devices for light electromobility and stationary applications. The anode of choice in SIBs is hard carbon (HC) due to its electrochemical performance. Among different HC precursors, bio-waste resources have attracted significant attention due to their low-cost, abundance, and sustainability. Many bio-waste materials have been used as HC precursors, but they often require strong acids/bases for pre-/post-treatment for HC development. Here, the morphology, microstructure, and electrochemical performance of HCs synthesized from hazelnut shells subjected to different pre-treatments (i. e., no pre-treatment, acid treatment, and water washing) were compared. The impact on the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion cells and the cost-effectiveness were also investigated. The results revealed that hazelnut shell-derived HCs produced via simple water washing outperformed those obtained via other processing methods in terms of electrochemical performance and cost-ecological effectiveness of a sodium-ion battery pack.

Abstract
There are several questions and controversies regarding the Na storage mechanism in hard carbon. This springs from the difficulty of probing the vast diversity of possible configurational environments for Na storage, including surface and defect sites, edges, pores, and intercalation morphologies. In the effort to explain the observed voltage profile, typically existing of a voltage slope section and a low-voltage plateau, several experimental and computational studies have provided a variety of contradicting results. This work employs density functional theory to thoroughly examine Na storage in hard carbon in combination with electrochemical experiments. Our calculation scheme disentangles the possible interactions by evaluating the enthalpies of formation, shedding light on the storage mechanisms. Parallel evaluation of the Li and K storage, and comparison with experiments, put forward a unified reaction mechanism for the three alkali metals. The results underline the importance of exposed metal surfaces and metal-carbon interfaces for the stability of the pore-filling mechanism responsible for the low-voltage plateau, in excellent agreement with the experimental voltage profiles. This generalized understanding provides insights into hard carbons as negative electrodes and their optimized properties.

Abstract
Bulk-type solid-state batteries (SSBs) composed of lithium thiophosphate superionic solid electrolytes (SEs) and high-capacity cathode active materials (CAMs) have recently attracted much attention for their potential application in next-generation electrochemical energy storage. However, compatibility issues between the key components in this kind of battery system are difficult to overcome. Here, we report on a protective cathode coating that strongly reduces the prevalence of detrimental side reactions between CAM and SE during battery operation. This is demonstrated using preformed HfO2 nanoparticles as a secondary particle coating for a layered Ni-rich oxide CAM, LiNi0.85Co0.1Mn0.05O2 (NCM85). The preparation of a stable dispersion of the HfO2 nanoparticles enabled the deposition of a uniform coating of thickness ≤11 nm. When incorporated into Li6PS5Cl-based, pellet-stack SSBs, the coated NCM85 showed superior performance in terms of reversibility, cell capacity, longevity, and rate capability over its uncoated counterpart. The effectiveness of the protective coating in mitigating electro-chemo-mechanical degradation was investigated using a suite of physical and electrochemical characterization techniques. In addition, the adaptability to wet processing of the coated NCM85 is demonstrated in slurry-cast SSBs and liquid-electrolyte-based Li-ion cells.

Abstract
We report on a detailed structural versus electrochemical property investigation of the corncob-derived non-graphitizable carbons prepared at different carbonization temperatures using a combination of structural characterization methodology unique to this field. Non-graphitizable carbons are currently the most viable option for the negative electrode in sodium-ion batteries. However, many challenges arise from the strong dependence of the precursor's choice and carbonization parameters on the evolution of the carbon matrix and its resulting electrochemistry. We followed structure development upon the increase in carbonization temperature with thorough structural characterization and electrochemical testing. With the increase of carbonization temperature from 900 to 1600 °C, our prepared materials exhibited a trend toward increasing structural order, an increase in the specific surface area of micropores, the development of ultramicroporosity, and an increase in conductivity. This was clearly demonstrated by a synergy of small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and electron-energy loss spectroscopy techniques. Three-electrode full cell measurements confirmed incomplete desodiation of Na+ ions from the non-graphitizable carbons in the first cycle due to the formation of a solid-electrolyte interface and Na trapping in the pores, followed by a stable second cycle. The study of cycling stability over 100 cycles in a half-cell configuration confirmed the observed high irreversible capacity in the first cycle, which stabilized to a slow decrease afterward, with the Coulombic efficiency reaching 99% after 30 cycles and then stabilizing between 99.3 and 99.5%. Subsequently, a strong correlation between the determined structural properties and the electrochemical behavior was established.

Abstract
Development of energy storage systems is a topic of broad societal and economic relevance, and lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the most advanced electrochemical energy storage systems. However, concerns on the scarcity of lithium sources and consequently the expected price increase have driven the development of alternative energy storage systems beyond LIBs. In the search for sustainable and cost-effective technologies, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted considerable attention. Here, a comprehensive review of ongoing studies on electrode materials for SIBs and PIBs is provided in comparison to those for LIBs, which include layered oxides, polyanion compounds and Prussian blue analogues for positive electrode materials, and carbon-based and alloy materials for negative electrode materials. The importance of the crystal structure for electrode materials is discussed with an emphasis placed on intrinsic and dynamic structural properties and electrochemistry associated with alkali metal ions. The key challenges for electrode materials as well as the interface/interphase between the electrolyte and electrode materials, and the corresponding strategies are also examined. The discussion and insights presented in this review can serve as a guide regarding where future investigations of SIBs and PIBs will be directed.

Abstract
In many countries, apple pomace (AP) is one of the most produced types of agri-food waste (globally, it is produced at a rate of ~4 million tons/year). If not managed properly, such bio-organic waste can cause serious pollution of the natural environment and public health hazards, mainly due to the risk of microbial contamination. This review shows that AP can be successfully reused in different industrial sectors—for example, as a source of energy and bio-materials—according to the idea of sustainable development. The recovered active compounds from AP can be applied as preservatives, antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, wood protectors or biopolymers. Raw or processed forms of AP can also be considered as feedstocks for various bioenergy applications such as the production of intermediate bioenergy carriers (e.g., biogas and pyrolysis oil), and materials (e.g., biochar and activated carbon). In the future, AP and its active ingredients can be of great use due to their non-toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Given the increasing mass of produced AP, the commercial applications of AP could have a huge economic impact in the future.

Abstract
Growing attention has been attached to hard carbon in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, hard carbon from individual precursors tends to exhibit an inferior rate capability due to its limited interlayer distance. Here, a coupled strategy is designed to prepare hard carbon microspheres (HCMSs) via the pyrolysis of a highly branched polymer network formed instantaneously between two interactive precursors during the atomization of the spray drying process. The combined precursors with a tunable cross-linked structure prefer to generate a large interlayer spacing (0.399 nm) and abundant closed pore structure by suppressing the graphitization of precursors during the carbonization, relative to the individual precursor, which contributes greatly to the ion diffusion kinetics. Benefiting from the unique structure, HCMS exhibits an impressively high reversible specific capacity of 373.4 mA h g-1 in SIBs and high initial Coulombic efficiency of 88%, retaining 90.2% of the initial capacity even after 150 cycles, which presented comparable capacities with commercial graphite in lithium-ion batteries. Besides, excellent rate capability was also demonstrated with HCMSs (250 and 117 mA h g-1 at 300 and 600 mA g-1). Notably, the interlayer distance and closed pore structure are tunable just by adjusting the ratio of the two precursors. The tunable and extendable fabrication process, together with its amazing high carbon yield of 48 wt % (1400 °C) and high tap density close to 0.8 g cm-3, makes this strategy promising in the practical application for SIBs.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
The abundance of the available sodium sources has led to rapid progress in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), making them potential candidates for immediate replacement of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, commercialization of SIBs has been hampered by their fading efficiency due to the sodium consumed in the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) when using hard carbon (HC) anodes. Herein, Na2C3O5 sodium salt is introduced as a highly efficient, cost-effective, and safe cathode sodiation additive. This sustainable sodium salt has an oxidation potential of ∼4.0 V vs Na+/Na°, so it could be practically implemented into SIBs. Moreover, for the first time, we have also revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) that in addition to the compensating Na+ ions spent in the SEI layer, the high specific capacity and capacity retention observed from electrochemical measurements are due to the formation of a thinner and more stable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) on the P2-Na2/3Mn0.8Fe0.1Ti0.1O2 while using such a cathode sodiation additive. Half-cell studies with P2-Na2/3Mn0.8Fe0.1Ti0.1O2 cathodes show a 27% increase in the specific capacity (164 mAh gP2-1) with cathode sodiation additives. Full-cell studies with the HC anode show a 4 times increase in the specific capacity of P2-Na2/3Mn0.8Fe0.1Ti0.1O2. This work provides notable insights into and avenues toward the development of SIBs.

Abstract
A huge variety of plants are harvested worldwide and their different constituents can be converted into a broad range of bionanomaterials. In parallel, much research effort in materials science and engineering is focused on the formation of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials originating from agricultural residues. Cellulose (40-50%), hemicellulose (20-40%), and lignin (20-30%) represent major plant ingredients and many techniques have been described that separate the main plant components for the synthesis of nanocelluloses, nano-hemicelluloses, and nanolignins with divergent and controllable properties. The minor components, such as essential oils, could also be used to produce non-toxic metal and metal oxide nanoparticles with high bioavailability, biocompatibility, and/or bioactivity. This review describes the chemical structure, the physical and chemical properties of plant cell constituents, different techniques for the synthesis of nanocelluloses, nanohemicelluloses, and nanolignins from various lignocellulose sources and agricultural residues, and the extraction of volatile oils from plants as well as their use in metal and metal oxide nanoparticle production and emulsion preparation. Furthermore, details about the formation of activated carbon nanomaterials by thermal treatment of lignocellulose materials, a few examples of mineral extraction from agriculture waste for nanoparticle fabrication, and the emerging applications of plant-based nanomaterials in different fields, such as biotechnology and medicine, environment protection, environmental remediation, or energy production and storage, are also included. This review also briefly discusses the recent developments and challenges of obtaining nanomaterials from plant residues, and the issues surrounding toxicity and regulation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 399:123043.

Abstract
In this work, the cellulose-enriched mesocarp of tangerine peels (TP) and the lignin-enriched epicarp of the peels (e-TPs) were used as examples to unveil the link between the basic components (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) in lignocellulosic biomass and catalytic activity of biochar towards peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The TP biochar exhibits sheet-like morphology and high porosity, while the e-TPs biochar shows a bulk morphology. Accordingly, the former outperformed the latter in terms of catalytic degradation of phenol with PMS, attributing to the higher content of cellulose than lignin in the TP precursor, which was further supported by comparing the catalytic activity of biochar prepared from binary mixtures containing different proportions of cellulose and lignin. Nonradical oxidation pathway based on singlet oxygen (1O2) and electron-transfer mechanism was involved in the TP biochar/PMS system and the key role of CO group in biochar for 1O2 generation was computationally demonstrated. Additionally, the unique porous structure and surface chemistry of TP biochar endows it an excellent adsorbent for various organic pollutants. Herein, this work provides an insight into the effect of lignocellulosic biomass source on the catalytic property of biochar, which would be beneficial to screen lignocellulosic biowastes to prepare high-performance biochar for water remediation.

Abstract
Biomass is gaining increased attention as a sustainable and low-cost hard carbon (HC) precursor. However, biomass properties are often unexplored and unrelated to HC performance. Herein, we used pine, beechwood, miscanthus, and wheat straw precursors to synthesize HCs at 1000 °C, 1200 °C and 1400 °C by a two-steps pyrolysis treatment. The final physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the HC evidenced dissimilar trends, mainly influenced by the precursor’s inorganic content, and less by the thermal treatment. Pine and beechwood HCs delivered the highest reversible capacity and coulombic efficiency (CE) at 1400 °C of about 300 mAh·g−1 and 80%, respectively. This performance can be attributed to the structure derived from the high carbon purity precursors. Miscanthus and wheat straw HC performance was strongly affected by the silicon, potassium, and calcium content in the biomasses, which promoted simultaneous detrimental phenomena of intrinsic activation, formation of a silicon carbide phase, and growth of graphitic domains with temperature. The latter HCs delivered 240–200 mAh·g−1 of reversible capacity and 70–60% of CE, respectively, at 1400 °C. The biomass precursor composition, especially its inorganic fraction, seems to be a key parameter to control, for obtaining high performance hard carbon electrodes by direct pyrolysis process.

Abstract
A circular economy relies on the value of resources being maximised indefinitely, requiring that virtually no unrecoverable waste occurs. Biomass is highly significant in a circular economy in terms of material products and the provision of energy. To establish a circular bioeconomy, the practical implications of biomass use need to be appreciated by stakeholders throughout the value chain, from product design to waste management. This review addresses sustainable biomass production and its function as a feedstock from a European perspective. Anaerobic digestion of food waste is used as a case study to represent appropriate waste treatments. Crucial challenges are (1) Uncoupling the petrochemical industry and biomass production with renewable fertilisers; (2) Providing plentiful biomass for bio-based products by prioritising other renewable sources of energy; (3) Waste arising from food and agriculture must be minimised and returned to the economy; (4) Enhancing stakeholder cooperation across value chains.

Abstract
The pectin (CEP) was used as matrix material to prepare Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites with a green method for photocatalytic antibacterial activity in visible-light. Briefly, Ag@AgCl plasmonic hybrids were prepared in the CEP macromolecule matrix with size control, which was attributed to the stability of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the CEP. Subsequently, an effective and green two-steps approach was explored for the fabrication of CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites with resource saving and environment friendly. Interestingly, more Ag+ was converted into metallic Ag in the CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO than that in the CEP-Ag@AgCl. This phenomenon was attributed that the reducibility of free hemiacetal hydroxyl groups on CEP was realized with the help of NaOH in the preparation of CEP-ZnO. In addition, the CEP chains were not obviously destroyed except for the change in the crystallinity after the preparation of the CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites, indicating that the method was non-destructive. Moreover, the pH triggered release of Zn2+ and low release of Ag+ in CEP-Ag@AgCl/ZnO nanocomposites with excellent photocatalytic antibacterial activity were confirmed in this work. The proposed green process provides a new idea for the large-scale production of antibacterial pectin-based nanocomposites in industry with a low-cost.

Abstract
To realize the sustainability of Na-ion batteries (NIBs) for large-scale energy storage applications, a resource-abundant and cost-effective anode material is required. In this study, sugarcane bagasse (SB), one of the most abundant types of biowaste, is chosen as the carbon precursor to produce a hard carbon (HC) anode for NIBs. SB has a great balance of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which prevents full graphitization of the pyrolyzed carbon but ensures a sufficiently ordered carbon structure for Na+ transport. Compared with HC derived from waste apples, which are pectin-rich and have less cellulose than SB, SB-derived HC (SB-HC) has fewer defects and a lower oxygen content. SB-HC thus has a higher first-cycle sodiation/desodiation coulombic efficiency and better cycling stability. In addition, SB-HC has a unique flake-like morphology, which can shorten the Na+ diffusion length, and higher electronic conductivity (owing to more sp2 -hybridized carbon), resulting in superior high-rate charge-discharge performance to apple-derived HC. The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the material characteristics and electrochemical properties, evaluated by using chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, are systematically investigated for both kinds of HC.

Abstract
On account of the large radius of K-ions, the electrodes can suffer huge deformation during K-ion insertion and extraction processes. In our work, we unveil the impact of using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) instead of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as binders for K-ion storage. Our porous hollow carbon submicrosphere anodes using the CMC binder exhibit a reversible capacity of 208 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles at 50 mA g-1, and even at a high current density of 1 A g-1, they achieve a reversible capacity of 111 mA h g-1 over 3000 cycles with almost no decay, demonstrating remarkably improved reversibility and cycling stability than those using PVDF (18 mA h g-1 after 3000 cycles at 1 A g-1). It is showed that the CMC binder can result in higher adhesion force and better mechanical performance than the PVDF binder, which can restrain the crack during a potassiation/depotassiation process. According to the test of adhesion force, the hollow carbon submicrospheres using the CMC binder show above three times of average adhesion force than that using the PVDF binder. Furthermore, based on the rational design, our hollow carbon submicrospheres also exhibit 62.3% specific capacity contribution below 0.5 V vs K/K+ region, which is helpful to design the full cell with high energy density. We believe that our work will highlight the binder effect to improve the K-ion storage performance.

Abstract
Harvesting energy from natural resources is of significant interest because of their abundance and sustainability. Seawater is the most abundant natural resource on earth, covering two-thirds of the surface. The rechargeable seawater battery is a new energy storage platform that enables interconversion of electrical energy and chemical energy by tapping into seawater as an infinite medium. Here, an overview of the research and development activities of seawater batteries toward practical applications is presented. Seawater batteries consist of anode and cathode compartments that are separated by a Na-ion conducting membrane, which allows only Na+ ion transport between the two electrodes. The roles and drawbacks of the three key components, as well as the development concept and operation principles of the batteries on the basis of previous reports are covered. Moreover, the prototype manufacturing lines for mass production and automation, and potential applications, particularly in marine environments are introduced. Highlighting the importance of engineering the cell components, as well as optimizing the system level for a particular application and thereby successful market entry, the key issues to be resolved are discussed, so that the seawater battery can emerge as a promising alternative to existing rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Cellulose as the most abundant natural biopolymer on earth has shown promising potential because of its excellent physical, mechanical, and biocompatible properties, which are very important for sustainable energy storage systems (ESSs). In this review, a comprehensive summary of the applications involving all kinds and forms of cellulose in the advanced Na-related ESSs, including sodium ion batteries (SIBs) and sodium ion capacitors (SICs), is presented. For cellulose, the impact of various structures and surface chemical properties on the electrochemical performance is focused on. In particular, the latest developments in cellulose-based binders and separators are highlighted. In addition, an in-depth understanding of the structure and performance of electrode materials and the storage mechanism of a hard carbon anode derived from cellulose for SIBs is provided. Further, the manufacturing of full-cellulose-based SICs assembled by all parts of devices including hard carbon anodes, active carbon cathodes, binders, and separator based on cellulose or cellulose derivatives is reviewed. Finally, the prospects of cellulose-based energy storage systems on several issues that need further exploration are presented.

Abstract
The investigation of phosphoric acid treatment on the performance of hard carbon from a typical lignocellulosic biomass waste (peanut shell) is herein reported. A strong correlation is discovered between the treatment time and the structural properties and electrochemical performance in sodium-ion batteries. Indeed, a prolonged acid treatment enables the use of lower temperatures, that is, lower energy consumption, for the carbonization step as well as improved high-rate performance (122 mAh g-1 at 10 C).

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries are attracting much interest due to their potential as viable future alternatives for lithium-ion batteries, in view of the much higher earth abundance of sodium over that of lithium. Although both battery systems have basically similar chemistries, the key celebrated negative electrode in lithium battery, namely, graphite, is unavailable for the sodium-ion battery due to the larger size of the sodium ion. This need is satisfied by "hard carbon", which can internalize the larger sodium ion and has desirable electrochemical properties. Unlike graphite, with its specific layered structure, however, hard carbon occurs in diverse microstructural states. Herein, the relationships between precursor choices, synthetic protocols, microstructural states, and performance features of hard carbon forms in the context of sodium-ion battery applications are elucidated. Derived from the pertinent literature employing classical and modern structural characterization techniques, various issues related to microstructure, morphology, defects, and heteroatom doping are discussed. Finally, an outlook is presented to suggest emerging research directions.

Abstract
The implementation of aqueous electrode processing of cathode materials is a key for the development of greener Na-ion batteries. Herein, the development and optimization of the aqueous electrode processing for the ecofriendly Na0.44MnO2 (NMO) cathode material, employing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as binder, are reported for the first time. The characterization of such an electrode reveals that the performances are strongly affected by the employed electrolyte solution, especially, the sodium salt and the use of electrolyte's additives. In particular, the best results are obtained using the 1 M solution of NaPF6 in EC/DEC (ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate) 3:7 (v/v) + 2 wt % FEC (fluoroethylene carbonate). With this electrolyte, the outstanding capacity of 99.7 mA h g-1 is delivered by the CMC-NMO cathode after 800 cycles at a 1C charge/discharge rate. On the basis of this excellent long-term performance, a full sodium cell, composed of a CMC-based NMO cathode and hard carbon from biowaste (corn cob), has been assembled and tested. The cell delivers excellent performances in terms of specific capacity, capacity retention, and long-term cycling stability. After 75 cycles at a C/5 rate, the capacity of the NMO in the full-cell approaches 109 mA h g-1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%.
