Biomass Derived Composites for Energy Storage

Pitchaimani Veerakumar and King-Chuen Lin

Recently, biomass-derived valuable carbon structures have become a research focus that offer multiple contributions to electrochemical energy storage. This book chapter reveals the nanostructured materials synthesized from plant-based biomass in the design of high-performance superconductors. Encountering of challenges and limitations for better achievement have been discussed from the point-of-view of materials preparation. The aim of this chapter is to offer an overview of the prior studies of the common types of biomass-related carbons, their potential advantages in supercapacitor applications, and the relationship of electrochemical properties of biomass-derived carbon materials and their structures.
