dc.description.abstract | Copyright © 2021 The Author(s). Electrochemical energy storage with lignin-based composite electrodes offers a cheap and renewable source for batteries. Lignin composites have mainly been used in supercapacitors and little has been investigated related to applying these composites in batteries. Here we show a biodegradable hybrid Zn-ion battery with a polymer/lignin composite electrode as a cathode, a Zn anode and bio-ionic liquid electrolytes. Interestingly, the polymer/lignin composite cathode led to a higher discharge capacity compared to the charge capacity over the entire 100 charge/discharge cycling process. It was observed that the lignin concentration in the composite polymer electrode was crucial in obtaining such a phenomenon. Using SEM, electrochemical analysis and NMR, we showed that lignin electrocatalytically oxidizes during battery charging, which produced the extra energy. This results in obtaining a higher discharge capacity compared to the charge capacity. It is anticipated that such an electrocatalytic technique can be extended to other battery systems to harness clean electrochemical energy from biomass. | en_US |
