Cellulose: Characteristics and applications for rechargeable batteries
Date
2022
Abstract
Cellulose, an abundant natural polymer, has promising potential to be used for energy storage systems because of its excellent mechanical, structural, and physical characteristics. This review discusses the structural features of cellulose and describes its potential application as an electrode, separator, and binder, in various types of high-performing batteries. Various surface and structural characteristics of cellulose (e.g., fiber size, surface functional groups, the hierarchy of pores, and porosity levels) that contribute to its electrochemical performance are discussed. Cellulose structure/property/processing/function relationships are further focused and elucidated in terms of the latest developments in the emerging field of sustainable materials in Li-Ion, Na-Ion, and Li–S batteries.
