In a study published In the Journal of Power Sources, researchers from the University of the Basque Country in Spain (UPV/EHU) presented an energy storage system with the help of electrodes derived from wood biomass.
The wood biomass that they used comes from a variety of pine tree, and it is available on a large scale as a waste product of sawmills, making it a cost -effective and sustainable method according to the Solid State and Materials Research Group at UPV/EHU.
The group created the system with the help of electrodes as a result of the discarded wooden chips that they combined into a lithium ionician (LIC), a hybrid system that combines batteries and supercondensators. The negative electrode is made of hard carbon and reaches the values with high capacity of up to 112 mAh g⁻1 At 10C without complex doping procedures, the use of expensive additives or complex processing.
