The conversion of waste into high-value carbon and functional materials is of prime importance because of the sustainable chemistry, valorization of waste, and replacement of fossil fuel-derived counterparts. However, existing synthetic methods are hindered by difficulties concerning fine tuning of their physical and chemical properties starting from a heterogeneous source and mass production. In this talk, I will introduce two chemical strategies into valorization of wood waste (or lignocellulose) for energy storage applications: (1) A straightforward separation-free valorization chemistry of lignocellulose into heteroatom-doped and undoped carbon dots (CDs) and nanoporous carbons (CNs) will be addressed. (2) We also demonstrate the pseudocapacitive lignin nanocrystals confined on conductive carbon nanostructure for renewable energy-storage materials. |
