Renewable‐Biomolecule‐Based Electrochemical Energy‐Storage Materials

Abstract

Abstract Currently, the development of safe and sustainable energy‐storage systems is being pursued due to their large‐scale production and widespread utilization. Harnessing the electroactive materials derived from biomass could pave a way to fabricate next‐generation, environmental friendly and biocompatible energy‐storage devices. In this Research News, recent progress in the field of renewable‐biomolecules‐based electrochemical energy‐storage materials is highlighted. Specifically, the biomolecules exploration, electrode fabrication and electrochemical charge‐storage mechanism of such renewable‐biomolecules‐based energy‐storage materials are discussed. Finally, the critical challenges associated with renewable‐biomolecules‐based electrode materials are presented, and insights into the future development of rechargeable energy‐storage devices based on natural biomaterials are provided.
