The utilization of biomass resources can not only alleviate energy shortage and environmental problems, but also contribute to sustainable development. The preparation of carbon aerogel from biomass can realize the efficient utilization of waste resources. Herein, this review summarizes the preparation and application of biomass based carbon aerogel. Firstly, this review systematically deconstruct the intrinsic molecular architectures and chemistry of quintessential biomass feedstocks (cellulose, chitin, starch, and sodium alginate) and elucidate how these inherent features dictate the gelation pathways, pore structure evolution, and ultimate functionality of the resulting carbon skeletons. Then, this review further advances beyond a conventional listing of applications in water treatment, energy storage, electromagnetic interference shielding, gas adsorption, thermal insulation, and sensing. This review provides a focused analysis on the mechanistic links between the tailorable hierarchical porosity/surface chemistry of biomass CAs and their performance. Finally, critical challenges hindering industrial translation are identified, including the absence of a dominant high-performance precursor, low carbonization yield, and the energy-intensive freeze-drying bottleneck. This review aims to provide a foundational framework and a forward-looking design logic for transitioning biomass based carbon aerogel from laboratory curiosities toward customizable, high-performance materials for advanced sustainable technologies.
