Bio-based nanomaterials for energy application: A review

Bio-nanomaterials have been gaining increased attention recently due to their special, nano-specific properties such as their high specific area compared to their bulk materials and their environmentally friendly, and renewable properties. Overall, this review discusses recent advances of two nanomaterials derived from bio-sources, which are nanocellulose and carbon-based nanomaterials in the application of electrochemical energy storage devices, specifically batteries and supercapacitors.
