The main points of this paper

1. This paper describes the properties of Electrospun Nanofbers prepared from various biomass components and their derivatives, and presents their performance in the application of electrochemical energy storage devices.

2. The preparation method of Electrospun Nanofbers with excellent electrochemical properties is systematically introduced.

3. The differences of various biomass materials and their applications in electrochemical energy storage devices are analyzed and summarized.

What are the advantages of using biomass and its derivatives as Electrospun Nanofbers?

1.Wide range of sources and low cost: Biomass is abundant, renewable, and has large reserves, making it a low-cost raw material for Electrospun Nanofbers.

2.Process simplification: biomass as raw material, can simplify the preparation process of mixing and heating processing time, thus improving production efficiency.

3.Environmentally friendly, low-carbon: biomass is considered a “zero-carbon” resource, as the raw material for Electrospun Nanofbers, it is conducive to the realization of green, low-carbon, sustainable energy development, and help to reduce social carbon emissions.

These advantages make biomass and its derivatives conducive to the preparation of high-performance Electrospun Nanofbers at low cost and with environmental benefits.

The main findings presented in this review

1.Biomass-derived Electrospun Nanofbers have unique pore structure, high specific surface area, low cost and easy availability, which make them promising materials for electrochemical energy storage devices.

2.The properties of Electrospun Nanofbers prepared from different biomass fractions and their derivatives vary greatly, resulting in different electrochemical properties in electrochemical energy storage devices.

3.Lignin-based Electrospun Nanofbers have a rich pore structure, which effectively promotes the adsorption of electrolyte ions, enabling these conductive active materials to carry out a series of electrochemical reactions at high frequencies.

4.Cellulose-based Electrospun Nanofbers have good wettability in a variety of electrolytes, which is conducive to the broadening of the potential window.

5.The electrode using cellulose-based Electrospun Nanofbers can withstand the structural changes that occur during continuous charging and discharging to ensure its long-term stable operation.

6.Electrospun Nanofbers prepared from other biomass raw materials (such as proteins) are rich in nitrogen. In electrochemical energy storage devices, this can effectively improve the specific power density and energy density by increasing the pseudocapacitance.

7.The selection of biomass feedstock and its processing methods are particularly important for obtaining nanofibers with excellent electrochemical properties. Effectively regulating the structure of nanofiber materials during carbonization remains a challenge.
