随着对环境保护的日益重视和可再生能源的推广，人们越来越需要一种互利的方法来有效地将污染物（通常被视为“垃圾”）转化为有价值的储能纳米材料（被视为“宝藏”）。相应地，细菌衍生的碳由于其固有的杂原子掺杂、独特的纳米结构和优越的电化学性能而引起了广泛的研究关注，使其成为锂基电池电极材料的优秀候选者。更有趣的是，通过利用细菌的代谢过程或生物矿化过程，可以获得功能性碳基纳米复合材料，以生物组装的方式生产具有理想性能的材料，从而实现工程高性能电极结构的融合目标，同时促进可持续发展。在这篇综述中，我们总结了最近在细菌衍生碳和纳米复合材料合成策略方面的研究，这些研究为锂离子和锂硫电池面临的关键挑战提供了解决方案。进一步讨论了它们独特的结构和性能，从而提高了电化学性能。本文综述了微生物学和储能材料融合领域的最新进展，为研究可持续和环保的电极材料提供了新的见解和灵感。
The increasing emphasis on environmental protection and the promotion of renewable energy sources has led to a growing demand for a mutually beneficial approach to efficiently convert pollutants, commonly perceived as ‘trash,’ into valuable energy-storage nanomaterials, considered as ‘treasure’. Correspondingly, bacteria-derived carbon has garnered significant research attention owing to its inherent heteroatom dopants, distinctive nanostructures, and superior electrochemical properties, making it an excellent candidate as an electrode material for lithium-based batteries. More interestingly, a functional carbon-based nanocomposite can be obtained through harnessing the metabolic processes or biomineralization processes of bacteria to produce materials with desirable properties in a bio-assembly approach, thus achieving the convergent goal of engineering high-performance electrode structures while promoting sustainable development. In this mini review, we summarize the recent research on synthesis strategies of bacteria-derived carbon and nanocomposite materials that offer solutions to critical challenges encountered in lithium-ion and lithium-sulfur batteries. Their distinctive structures and properties, providing enhanced electrochemical performance, were further discussed. This review highlights the recent advancements in the convergent fields of microbiology and energy storage materials, offering new insights and inspiration for researching electrode materials obtained from sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives.
