Abstract

The production and storage of energy from sustainable and renewable resources such as biomass have become one of the most significant issues worldwide. Biomass has become very popular in recent decades due to reducing environmental pollution and production costs. Potato is one of the best biomass resources due to its abundant availability, high yield, and potential for conversion into various forms of energy and valuable chemicals. This review aims to prepare an overview of the progress in the potato-based electrochemical energy storage (EES) electrode as the most essential part of the electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices, which includes batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid devices. The carbonized potato waste (potato biochar) can be used as electrodes of batteries, supercapacitors and hybrid devices. The potato biochar’s electrochemical results in the EES devices have been reported and compared. The results indicate that potato biochar has acceptable electrochemical activity besides its low cost and environmentally safe performance.
