Abstract

Biomass-derived carbon-based nanomaterials have demonstrated remarkable potentiality in a wide array of diverse applications including but not limited to energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, and cutting-edge biomedical devices and technologies. These sustainable and renewable nanomaterials, derived from biomass resources, have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional properties, such as high surface area, unique porosity, superior electrical conductivity, and desirable mechanical strength. Additionally, they exhibit promising capability in addressing critical global challenges associated with energy and environment sectors. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the synthesis strategies employed for the production of biomass-derived carbon-based nanomaterials, elucidating the associated characteristics, and highlighting their applications in the aforementioned fields. Furthermore, the challenges and future prospects for the utilization of these nanomaterials will be discussed, with emphasis on the need for a sustainable and greener future.
