Summary

Environmental pollution and global warming have propelled the research activities toward the substitution of toxic materials with environmentally acceptable components in various spheres. Lithium-ion battery (LIB) is exorbitantly used in different electronic devices in the present era and thus generates huge toxic electronic waste, which has become a global concern. Different approaches have been put forward to replace the commonly used materials for the fabrication of LIBs with processed biomass. This review discusses the significance and application of different biomass for fabricating electrodes and binders for LIBs. The electrochemical properties of the developed LIBs have also been discussed in detail. In addition, the required improvements have been put forth, so that biomass can be extensively used in future LIB to reduce the amount of generated toxic electronic wastes.

Highlights

  • Application of biowaste for the synthesis of Li-ion battery.
  • Morphology of the synthesized materials.
  • Electrochemical properties of the synthesized materials.
  • Efficiency of the natural products as components in Li-ion batteries.
  • The environmental safety of the materials as LIB components
