Due to increased populations, there is an increased demand for food; thus, battery electrode materials created from waste biomass provide an attractive opportunity. Unfortunately, such batteries rarely sustain capacities comparable to current state-of-the-art technologies. However, an anode synthesized from waste avocado seeds provides high cycling stability over 100 cycles and provides comparable capacity to graphite, around 315 mAh g–1 at 100 mA g–1 current density, and readily outperforms graphene in terms of both stability and capacity. This novel electrode provides such capacities as an amorphous carbon without the use of any additives or doped heteroatoms by utilizing capacitance-driven mechanisms to contribute to 54% of its lithium-ion storage. This allows the waste biomass-derived anode to overcome its low apparent diffusion coefficient of 4.38 × 10–11 cm2 s–1. By creating battery anodes from avocado seeds, waste streams can be redirected into creating valuable, renewable energy storage resources.
