Summary
With
the depletion of natural resources and the deterioration of the environment,
people pay more and more attention to sustainable development. Biomass
materials and their derivatives(including wood), have good application
prospects in the field of energy storage and conversion materials such as
lithium batteries due to their environmental friendliness, unique structural
characteristics and high reaction activity.
In
the process of preparation, processing and application of the biomass materials
for lithium batteries, pollutants will inevitably be produced. Therefore, how
to realize the green preparation, green processing and green application of
biomass derived carbon materials is the key direction that researchers need to
consider and design.
This
special issue is dedicated to the most recent advances in research of the green
preparation, green processing and green application of the lithium batteries.
We invite scientists and investigators to contribute original research and
review articles, which address the topics of the special issue.
Potential
topics include, but are not limited to:
●Green preparation of the biomass
materials for the lithium batteries;
●Green processing of the biomass materials
for the lithium batteries;
●Green design of the biomass materials for
the lithium batteries;
●Life-cycle assessment of the lithium
batteries containing the biomass materials;
●Thermal management technology of the
lithium batteries containing the biomass materials;
●Safety assessment of the lithium
batteries containing the biomass materials;
●Systems modeling and simulation of the
lithium batteries containing the biomass materials;
●Recovery of waste lithium batteries by
the biomass materials.
Keywords
Biomass materials; Lithium battery; Lithium sulfur battery; Thermal management technology; Life-cycle theory; Systems modeling and simulation.

Biomass Materials Used in Lithium Batteries: Green Preparation, Green Processing and Green Application)
Abstract The formation process of aromatic hydrocarbon tar during the pyrolysis process of biomass components of cellulose and lignin was carried out by quantum chemical calculation based on density functional theory method
B3LYP/6-31G++(d, p). 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural was chosen as the model compound of cellulose and hemicellulose, and syringaldehyde was chosen as the model compound of lignin. The calculation results show that the
formation process of cellulose monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon tar is the conversion process of benzene ring
from furan ring, and the highest reaction energy barrier appears in the process of decarbonylation, which is
370.8 kJ/mol. The formation of lignin monocyclic aromatic…
