Sustainable energy and waste management: How to transform plastic waste into carbon nanostructures for electrochemical supercapacitors. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 171:71-85. [PMID: 37651944 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2023.08.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Plastic waste consumption increases exponentially every year, mainly in the last three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid growth of plastic products has exceeded the world's capacity to deal with this type of trash. Thus, it has become a substantial environmental concern in modern society. Another dire concern is the improper disposal of used supercapacitors, leading to serious environmental impacts. Consequently, critical action to tackle this issue is to transform trash into high-valued materials, such as carbon nanomaterial supercapacitors. Considering several methodologies of recycling, pyrolysis stands out due to its simplicity and easy handling of mixed plastic waste to produce carbonaceous materials with different dimensions (0, 1, 2, and 3D). Thus, from this technology, it is possible to create new opportunities for using plastic waste and other types of waste to produce cheaper carbon-based materials for supercapacitors. This review aims to provide readers with a sustainability-driven view regarding the reutilization of plastic trash, discusses the environmental consequences of not doing so, and shows plastic waste solutions. Despite the broad scope of the topic, this review focuses on identifying the currently studied strategies to convert plastic waste into carbon-based electrodes, using less expensive and more efficient competitive protocols, besides emphasizing the diverse types (0, 1, 2, and 3D) of nanostructures. This review also proposes promising options for a sustainable cycle of plastic waste and supercapacitor.

Abstract
Bismuth(Bi)-based materials have gained considerable attention in recent decades for use in a diverse range of sustainable energy and environmental applications due to their low toxicity and eco-friendliness. Bi materials are widely employed in electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices, exhibiting excellent catalytic and non-catalytic performance, as well as CO2 /N2 reduction and water treatment systems. A variety of Bi materials, including its oxides, chalcogenides, oxyhalides, bismuthates, and other composites, have been developed for understanding their physicochemical properties. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the properties of individual Bi material systems and their use in a range of applications is provided. This review highlights the implementation of novel strategies to modify Bi materials based on morphological and facet control, doping/defect inclusion, and composite/heterojunction formation. The factors affecting the development of different classes of Bi materials and how their control differs between individual Bi compounds are also described. In particular, the development process for these material systems, their mass production, and related challenges are considered. Thus, the key components in Bi compounds are compared in terms of their properties, design, and applications. Finally, the future potential and challenges associated with Bi complexes are presented as a pathway for new innovations.

Abstract
Aqueous alkaline batteries (AABs) with the merits of both high energy density and power density have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for the new generation of energy storage devices, while their practical applications are still limited by the lack of high-performance electrode materials, especially for the anode materials. Herein, metallic bismuth-bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi-Bi2O3), with numerous heterogeneous interfaces, are successfully anchored and uniformly distributed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. When Bi-Bi2O3/rGO-20 electrode is used as the anode material for an AAB, it shows a high specific capacity of 288.0 mA h g-1 (1036.9 F g-1) at 1 A g-1 and good rate capability (74.7% of capacity retention ratio at 20 A g-1). Additionally, in order to match well with a Bi-Bi2O3/rGO-20 anode, CoVSx thin sheets decorated with Ni-Co layered double hydroxide sheets (NiCo-LDH) were successfully constructed via a facile multistep hydrothermal method and a subsequent electrodeposition process. The resulting cathode exhibits a high specific capacity of 306.0 mA h g-1 (2448 F g-1) at 1 A g-1. The assembled CoVSx@NiCo-LDH//Bi-Bi2O3/rGO-20 AAB delivers an outstanding energy density of 106.1 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 789.6 W kg-1. Besides, the as-synthesized Bi-based electrode is also used in aqueous Zn alkaline batteries to further extend its application and the assembled Bi-Bi2O3/rGO-20//Zn batteries possess an ultralong flat discharge plateau and exhibit a specific capacity of 250.6 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1. The results demonstrate that the as-assembled AAB has huge potential for practical applications and provides an inspiration for the next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
The exploitation of hybrid supercapacitors with excellent electrochemical properties is of great significance for energy storage systems. Herein, a three-dimensional hierarchical flower-like architecture of nickel phosphide (Ni2P) decorated with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) and cobalt oxide (Co3O4) is constructed by an effective two-step hydrothermal strategy followed by in situ phosphorization process. Introducing N-CQDs with superior electrochemical characteristics can not only induce the formation of N-CQDs deposited nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) flower-like architecture but also significantly enhance the electrochemical features of Ni(OH)2 nanosheets. After combination with Co3O4 nanoparticles and phosphorization treatment, an advanced cathode of Ni2P/Co3O4/N-CQDs with enriched surface phosphate ions is obtained, which possesses an ultra-high capacity of 1044 C g-1 (2088 F g-1) at 1 A g-1 with a splendid rate capacity of 876 C g-1 (1752 F g-1) at 20 A g-1. Moreover, a device assembled by Ni2P/Co3O4/N-CQDs hierarchical flower-like architecture and p-phenylenediamine functionalized reduced graphene oxide (PPD/rGO) nanosheets depicts a commendable energy density of 53.5 Wh kg-1 at 772.9 W kg-1. This work provides a novel hierarchical multi-component electrode material with decent electrochemical capacities for hybrid supercapacitors, which has a broad prospect in energy storage devices.

Abstract
Carbon-based Quantum dots (C-QDs) are carbon-based materials that experience the quantum confinement effect, which results in superior optoelectronic properties. In recent years, C-QDs have attracted attention significantly and have shown great application potential as a high-performance supercapacitor device. C-QDs (either as a bare electrode or composite) give a new way to boost supercapacitor performances in higher specific capacitance, high energy density, and good durability. This review comprehensively summarizes the up-to-date progress in C-QD applications either in a bare condition or as a composite with other materials for supercapacitors. The current state of the three distinct C-QD families used for supercapacitors including carbon quantum dots, carbon dots, and graphene quantum dots is highlighted. Two main properties of C-QDs (structural and electrical properties) are presented and analyzed, with a focus on the contribution to supercapacitor performances. Finally, we discuss and outline the remaining major challenges and future perspectives for this growing field with the hope of stimulating further research progress.

Abstract
In the past ten years, carbon dots-decorated, carbon-based, metal-free catalysts (CDs-C-MFCs) have become the fastest-growing branch in the metal-free materials for energy storage field. However, the further development of CDs-C-MFCs needs to clear up the electronic transmission mechanism rather than primarily relying on trial-and-error approaches. This review presents systematically and comprehensively for the first time the latest advances of CDs-C-MFCs in supercapacitors and metal-air batteries. The structure-performance relationship of these materials is carefully discussed. It is indicated that carbon dots (CDs) can act as the electron-rich regions in CDs-C-MFCs owing to their unique properties, such as quantum confinement effects, abundant defects, countless functional groups, etc. More importantly, specific doping can effectively modify the charge/spin distribution and then facilitate electron transfer. In addition, present challenges and future prospects of the CDs-C-MFCs are also given.
