Of all ongoing developments, electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies have attracted worldwide attention for portable consumer products, electric or hybrid electric vehicles and integration with the power grid and renewable energy sources.
Researchers are currently investigating alternative materials and chemistries for batteries, such as sodium- (Liu M. et al., 2022), potassium- (Yuan et al., 2021), magnesium- (Li et al., 2023b) and calcium-ion (Gummow et al., 2018) batteries, aiming to develop next-generation energy storage solutions.
To our knowledge, this is the first time electrochemical energy storage research studies based on CDs have been summarized in a review article. Fig. 1 (a) Literature concerning CDs as energy storage materials in Web of Science Core Collection, search date: 2019 July 23.
(Blecua de Pedro et al., 2023). The environmental and economic implications of new developments in energy storage include their effect on sustainability, resource usage, and economic viability (Harper et al., 2023). The environmental concerns start with the materials used in these batteries (Wentker et al., 2019).
Their unique quantum size effects, good electrical conductivity, rich surface functional groups, various defects and edges endow CDs with a dominating role in the electrochemical performance of many electrochemical storage devices including supercapacitors, Li/Na/K-ion batteries, Li–S batteries, metal–air batteries, flow batteries, etc. (Fig. 18).
Additionally, magnesium- and calcium-ions carry multiple positive charges, potentially yielding higher energy densities compared to lithium-, sodium-, and potassium-ions, thus enhancing energy storage capacity.
