Lignocellulosic biomass-derived hard carbon has gained prominence as a promising anode material for commercial sodium-ion batteries owing to its tunable microstructure, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. However, the intrinsic heterogeneity and structural complexity of lignocellulosic biomass pose significant challenges to the large-scale deployment of its derived hard carbons. This perspective summarizes recent advances in laboratory-scale research, highlights the key obstacles hindering commercial application, and outlines guiding principles for structural design. Finally, we discuss future development pathways to enable the production of low-cost, high-performance hard carbon anodes, thereby accelerating the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries

The catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high‐value chemicals offers a sustainable approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil resources. Among the products, olefins and aromatics are vital industrial building blocks, and their synthesis from CO2 provides notable environmental and energy benefits. Yet the conversion of CO2 into such unsaturated hydrocarbons remains intrinsically difficult, as it requires overcoming the high stability of the C–O bond, steering C–C coupling toward the desired products, and delicately balancing hydrogenation to suppress over-hydrogenation. This review summarizes recent advances in CO2 hydrogenation to olefins and aromatics, with particular attention to the main mechanistic pathways involving CO and methanol intermediates. We provide a detailed analysis of catalyst design strategies and mechanistic studies that have deepened understanding of CO2 activation, reaction intermediates, and product formation. Finally, the persisting challenges are discussed, and perspectives are offered on how future developments may enable efficient and scalable CO2 utilization.

Bananas are among the most produced and popular fruits globally, and their harvest generates significant amounts of banana pseudostem (BP). This study proposes a process that involves first extracting tannic acid from BP with ethanol and then converting the extraction residue RBP (recycled banana pseudostem) into biochar for electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs), thereby maximizing the resource utilization of BP. BP and RBP biochars were prepared by pyrolysis at temperatures ranging from 600 °C to 800 °C. Comparison of pretreated and un-pretreated samples showed that the micropore specific surface area of RBP700 (2066.35 m2·g−1) nearly doubled that of BP700 (1057.10 m2·g−1), and the micropore volume increased from 0.49 cm3·g−1 to 0.84 cm3·g−1. RBP700 electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 298.2 F·g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A·g−1, with a capacitance retention rate of 78.4 % at 20 A·g−1, and retained 92.6 % of its initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles, demonstrating excellent electrochemical performance and high electrochemical stability.

The utilization of wood-derived porous carbon as catalytic electrodes in metal-air batteries has garnered significant attention. Although extensive efforts have focused on developing and optimizing active sites, the insufficient electrical conductivity of wood-derived carbon-based electrodes remains a frequently overlooked challenge. In this study, we successfully constructed boron and nitrogen co-doped Co@CoO/BNC composite through multidimensional structural and compositional synergy, demonstrating exceptional catalytic activity. Specifically, ZIF-67 was confined in situ within wood cell structure to derive carbon materials with controllable growth of Co@CoO nanoparticles, preserving the hierarchical porous structure to ensure superior mass and electron transport. Furthermore, boron and nitrogen co-doping generated B-N-C, which modulated the electronic structure of metal centers and induced high-density topological defects in the carbon matrix, synergistically enhancing catalytic activity. The Co@CoO/BNC composite demonstrated outstanding bifunctional catalytic performance for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR, half-wave potential E1/2 = 850 mV) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER, overpotential of 310 mV at 10 mA cm−2). Notably, the narrow potential gap of 715 mV between ORR and OER significantly surpassed that of commercial Pt/C + RuO2 catalysts. Moreover, the as-prepared Co@CoO/BNC architecture also exhibited remarkable stability. When employed as an air cathode in zinc-air batteries, it delivered a specific capacity of 958.5 mA h g−1 and maintained exceptional cycling stability for over 300 h. This work provides critical insights into the rational design of carbon-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts and highlights the high-value utilization of forest biomass-derived materials in renewable electrochemical energy conversion systems.
利用木质多孔碳作为金属-空气电池的催化电极已经引起了人们的广泛关注。尽管大量的工作集中在开发和优化活性位点上,但木材碳基电极的导电性不足仍然是一个经常被忽视的挑战。在本研究中,我们通过多维结构和成分协同作用,成功构建了硼氮共掺杂Co@CoO/BNC复合材料,并表现出优异的催化活性。具体来说,ZIF-67被原位限制在木材细胞结构中,以获得具有Co@CoO纳米颗粒可控生长的碳材料,保留了分层多孔结构,以确保卓越的质量和电子传输。此外,硼氮共掺杂生成的B-N-C调节了金属中心的电子结构,在碳基体中引起高密度的拓扑缺陷,协同增强了催化活性。Co@CoO/BNC复合材料对氧还原反应(ORR,半波电位E1/2 = 850 mV)和析氧反应(OER,过电位310 mV, 10 mA cm−2)均表现出优异的双功能催化性能。值得注意的是,ORR和OER之间的窄电位差为715 mV,明显超过了商用Pt/C + RuO2催化剂。此外,制备的Co@CoO/BNC结构也表现出了显著的稳定性。当用作锌-空气电池的空气阴极时,它提供了958.5 mA h g - 1的比容量,并保持了超过300小时的卓越循环稳定性。这项工作为碳基双功能氧电催化剂的合理设计提供了重要见解,并强调了森林生物质衍生材料在可再生电化学能量转换系统中的高价值利用。

The pressing need to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions has spurred the development of efficient and sustainable alternatives to conventional amine-based solvents. In this study, a series of novel nanobiocatalysts were engineered by immobilizing carbonic anhydrase (CA) onto four types of CO₂-affinitive nanoparticles: zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), Fe₂O₃, graphene, and graphene oxide (GO). The resulting nanobiocatalysts exhibited enhanced CO₂ adsorption capacities, with GO achieving the highest at 22.4 mg/g, followed by ZIF-8 at 8.6 mg/g at 25 °C. When used as nanofluids, all systems significantly outperformed pure water in CO₂ absorption, with GO reaching a maximum CO₂ flux of 225 mol/m²·min at 1 bar and 25 °C. The presence of immobilized CA contributed to substantial flux enhancements: 41.6 % for GO, 36.9 % for graphene, 32.0 % for ZIF-8, and 21.0 % for Fe₂O₃, demonstrating a clear synergistic effect between enzymatic catalysis and nanoparticle-assisted absorption. The GOCA nanobiocatalyst also exhibited excellent operational stability, retaining over 95 % of its initial performance after three reuse cycles. Post-reaction analysis revealed a decrease in GO’s surface area from 1562 m²/g to 338 m²/g, confirming stable enzyme immobilization. These results underscore the potential of GOCA nanobiocatalysts as a high-performance, reusable, and scalable solution for industrial CO₂ capture.

Effective lignin removal while preserving carbohydrates is a critical challenge in the production of bioethanol. Herein, a novel alkaline deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) and monoethanolamine (MEA), was designed for efficient lignin removal and carbohydrate retention in corn stalks pretreatment. Under optimal conditions (MEA/NH₄Cl with a molar ratio 6:1, 140 °C, 6 h), the DES achieved 95.7 % lignin removal, with glucose and xylose yields after enzymatic hydrolysis of the residue reaching 98 %. Remarkably, glucose and xylose yields were up to 96 % within only 24 h, cutting the reaction time by two-thirds compared to the conventional 72 h industrial process and significantly enhancing efficiency. The DES also maintained high efficiency after five reuse cycles, demonstrating excellent recyclability and economic potential. Structural analysis revealed increased crystallinity and porosity, providing mechanistic insights into enhanced enzymatic accessibility. This work establishes a sustainable and innovative strategy for lignocellulose pretreatment, paving the way for cellulosic bioethanol production.
