Innovations in Biomass-Derived Materials for Efficient CO₂ Sequestration
摘要
The urgent need for sustainable solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions has driven research into innovative approaches utilizing biogenic materials for efficient CO₂ capture and energy storage. This review highlights recent advancements in biologically sourced materials that demonstrate exceptional promise in these critical areas. Biodegradable polymers, lignocellulose derivatives, and functionalized carbonaceous materials derived from renewable resources are emerging as viable alternatives to traditional petroleum-derived counterparts. The unique properties of these biogenic materials enable enhanced CO₂ adsorption capabilities, improved selectivity towards CO₂ over other gases, and increased stability under various environmental conditions. Carbon-based materials, such as biochars, activated carbons, and carbon nanotubes synthesized from biomass, exhibit remarkable CO₂ adsorption capacities due to their porosity, surface area, and chemical functionality. Nanostructured bio-based carbon electrodes fabricated using renewable precursors showcase outstanding electrochemical performances in energy storage devices like rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. Moreover, biopolymer-based membranes and composites offer an additional layer of innovation by integrating CO₂ separation with energy conversion processes. Furthermore, the integration of biogenic materials within hybrid systems offers synergistic benefits. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the immense potential of biogenic materials in revolutionizing CO₂ capture and energy storage technologies.
