    Biomass-Derived Carbon-Based Nanomaterials: Current Research, Trends, and Challenges

    Robyn Lesch1, Evan David Visser1, Ntalane Sello Seroka1,2,*, Lindiwe Khotseng1,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.13, No.10, pp. 1935-1977, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2025.02025-0026 - 22 October 2025

    Abstract The review investigates the use of biomass-derived carbon as precursors for nanomaterials, acknowledging their sustainability and eco-friendliness. It examines various types of biomasses, such as agricultural residues and food byproducts, focussing on their transformation via environmentally friendly methods such as pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation. Innovations in creating porous carbon nanostructures and heteroatom surface functionalisation are identified, enhancing catalytic performance. The study also explores the integration of biomass-derived carbon with nanomaterials for energy storage, catalysis, and other applications, noting the economic and environmental benefits. Despite these advantages, challenges persist in optimising synthesis methods and scaling production. More > Graphic Abstract

    A Greener Future: Carbon Nanomaterials from Lignocellulose

    Hebat-Allah S. Tohamy*, Mohamed El-Sakhawy, Samir Kamel

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.13, No.1, pp. 21-47, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.058603 - 20 January 2025

    Abstract Lignocellulosic materials (LCMs), abundant biomass residues, pose significant environmental challenges when improperly disposed of. LCMs, such as sugarcane bagasse, rice straw, saw dust and agricultural residues, are abundant but often burned, contributing to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This review explores the potential of transforming these materials into high-value carbon nanomaterials (CNMs). We explore the potential of transforming these materials into high-value CNMs. By employing techniques like carbonization and activation, LCMs can be converted into various CNMs, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (G), graphene oxide (GO), carbon quantum dots (CQDs), nanodiamonds (NDs), fullerenes… More > Graphic Abstract
