| Summary: | Phytomass i.e. plant biomass-derived active carbon is a versatile electrode material for energy devices owing to its natural and ubiquitous abundance, variety, ecocentrism, and unique physical properties. This article intricately reviews the recent advancements in phytomass-derived activated carbon (PAC), chiefly for the supercapacitor electrodes and notably, phytomass including different parts of the plants limited to, stem, leaf, flower, seed, fruit, and root for deriving PACs bestowed with excellent electrochemical performance have been considered. Advancement in the preparation of activated from phytomass, important facts associated with synthesis, and physical and electrochemical attributes have also been elaborated, which is expected to furnish a fruitful direction towards advocating supercapacitors – the green energy packs. The surface of PAC is usually decorated with organic functional moieties containing heteroatoms like O, and/or S/N (referred to as self-doped heteroatoms). The synergy of these heteroatoms in enhancing the pseudocapacitance of the PAC electrodes in supercapacitors has also been featured. Further, the review provokes insights on strategies, prominent challenges, prospects, imminent opportunities, and hopeful trends in support of AC from various plant parts that may power our energy-based society, and scientific industries and in establishing a sustainable energy sector as well by harnessing nature’s potential. |
