Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have attracted considerable interest because of their excellent power and energy densities. However, the development of LICs is limited by the low capacity of the cathode and the kinetics mismatch between the cathode and anode. In this work, mesoporous carbon materials (MCs) with uniform pore sizes were prepared using magnesium citrate as the raw material through a self-templating method. During the carbonization process, MgO nanoparticles generated from magnesium citrate act as a template, resulting in a more orderly pore structure. The resultant MCs demonstrate a high specific surface area of 1673 m2 g-1 and an abundance of small mesopores, which significantly accelerated ion migration within the electrolyte and expedited the formation of electric double layers. Benefiting from these advantages, the MCs cathode demonstrates a high reversible specific capacity, excellent cycling stability, and rate performance. The assembled MCs-based LIC provides a high energy density of 152.2 Wh kg-1 and a high power density of 14.3 kW kg-1. After 5000 cycles, a capacity retention rate of 80 % at the current density of 1 A g-1 is obtained. These results highlight the excellent potential of MCs as a cathode material for LICs.

Abstract
Renewable biomass and its waste are considered among the most promising applications materials owing to the depletion of fossil fuel and concerns about environmental pollution. Notably, advanced porous carbon materials derived from carbon-rich biomass precursors exhibit controllable pore structures, large surface areas, natural microstructures, and abundant functional groups. In addition, these three-dimensional structures provide sufficient reaction sites and fascinating physicochemical properties that are conducive to heteroatom doping and functional modification. This review systematically summarizes the design methods and related mechanisms of biomass-derived porous carbon materials (BDPCMs), discusses how the synthesis conditions influence the structure and performance of the carbon material, and emphasizes the importance of its use in energy utilization and environmental remediation applications. Current BDPCMs challenges and future development strategies are finally discussed to provide systematic information for further synthesis and performance optimization, which are expected to lead to novel ideas for the future development of bio-based carbon materials.

Abstract
Large micropore surface area, superior electrical conductivity and suitable pore size are simultaneously desired characteristics for high-performance capacitive carbons. However, these desired features tend to be mutually competing, and are generally difficult to integrate into a single carbon. Considering this challenge, we developed a sustainable, less time-demanding, pollution-free strategy to construct highly graphitized porous carbon (GPC) by one-step heat-treatment. This approach achieves the need of the abovementioned characteristics for capacitive carbons, wherein potassium ferrate works as both an activating agent and graphitization catalyst to achieve synchronous hierarchical porosity and graphitization of wasted natural wood, and the resultant carbon materials possess a large micropore surface area of 870.4 m2 g-1, a highly graphitic carbon skeleton and a well-interconnected micro-meso-macropore structure. The assembled GPC-based symmetrical capacitors exhibited a satisfactory capacitive performance in different aqueous electrolytes (H2SO4, KOH and Na2SO4), including high specific capacitance, prominent rate capability, satisfactory energy density and good cycle stability. Meanwhile, we compared the contributions of porosity and the graphitized structure to capacitive performance, and porosity was dominant in determining capacitance and the graphitized skeleton had a positive effect in enhancing the capacitive performance. In addition, we established the relationship between the structure of GPC and electrochemical capacitive performance in different aqueous electrolytes, providing a valuable reference for GPC-based supercapacitors in different practical applications. More importantly, this strategy holds great promise to sustainably convert biowaste to high-added-value capacitive carbons for advanced energy storage applications in the future.
