Reliance on renewable energy sources and increased use of green solutions (e.g., electric vehicles) is one of the strategic actions for a sustainable environment in the face of increasing fossil fuel consumption and associated environmental impacts. Supercapacitors are one of the most developed and researched energy storage technologies and have gained enormous attention and acceptance due to their portability and stable performance. Carbon materials mainly used for supercapacitor development are usually made frompetroleum-derived feedstocks which are non-renewable and environmentally harmful. Currently, bio-based carbon materials are being extensively researched for the development of supercapacitor materials due to their electrochemical stability and environmental friendliness. Despite the progress made so far in the development of bio-based carbon materials; the search for materials with novel properties and simple fabrication processes has become of great importance for the development of sustainable supercapacitors with high energy density. Therefore, this proposal has three specific objectives: (i) to synthesize new carbon materials suitable for supercapacitors from biomaterials (ii) to fabricate nanocomposite electrodes based on the developed bio-based carbon materials, and (iii) to fabricate a high-efficiency supercapacitor device based on the developed bio-based components. The fabricated supercapacitor device will be fully biodegradable and have the capacity to deliver both high energy density and power density. Therefore, the contributions of this project will be a great step towards solving the energy problems in the EU and beyond, through the development of green technologies for future advances in the production of electric vehicles and portable electronic products.

面对化石燃料消耗和相关的环境影响，依赖可再生能源和增加绿色解决方案的使用（例如电动汽车）是可持续环境的战略行动之一。超级电容器是最发达和研究的储能技术之一，由于其可移植性和稳定的性能而受到了极大的关注和接受。主要用于超级电容器开发的碳材料通常是由衍生的原料制成的，这些原料是不可再生且对环境有害的。目前，由于其电化学稳定性和环境友好性，基于生物的碳材料正在广泛研究超级电容器材料的开发。尽管迄今为止在开发基于生物的碳材料方面取得了进展；对于具有高能量密度的可持续超级电容器的开发，寻找具有新型特性和简单制造过程的材料已变得非常重要。因此，该提案具有三个特定的目标：（i）合成适合于生物材料（II）的超级电容器（II）的新碳材料，以基于开发的基于生物的碳材料制造纳米复合材料电极，以及（III）以制造基于开发的Bio基于BIO的组件的高效效率超级容量设备。制造的超级电容器设备将完全生物降解，并具有交付高能量密度和功率密度的能力。因此，该项目的贡献将是通过开发绿色技术来解决电动汽车和便携式电子产品的未来进步，将是解决欧盟及其他地区的能源问题的重要一步。
