Resumen:

To achieve decarbonization and transition to renewable energy, advanced materials for energy storage and catalysis are vital. Plant-based lignocellulosic materials are at the center of the decarbonization idea because they offer an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic chemicals. This chapter elucidates the composition of lignocellulosic materials, the activation technologies, and reactor configurations adopted to valorize biomass into activated carbons. Energy storage application of these activated carbons in supercapacitors, microbial fuel cells, and hydrogen storage was investigated. The development of heterogeneous catalysts from biomass for application in biodiesel synthesis was discussed. Studies revealed that the activation temperature and activating agent ratio enhance the specific surface area and porosity, and heteroatoms impact the capacity of energy storage of activated carbons. The calcination temperature promotes the concentration of alkaline metal oxides inherent in plant-based materials and enhances the catalyst?s basicity. Further studies on biomass integration and techno-economic analysis are required to facilitate biomass valorization. © 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH, Boschstr. 12, 69469 Weinheim, Germany.
