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.

面对化石燃料消耗的增加和相关的环境影响，依赖可再生能源和增加使用绿色解决方案（例如电动汽车）是可持续环境的战略行动之一。超级电容器是最成熟和研究最多的储能技术之一，由于其便携性和稳定的性能而获得了巨大的关注和接受。主要用于超级电容器开发的碳材料通常由不可再生且对环境有害的石油衍生原料制成。目前，生物基碳材料由于其电化学稳定性和环境友好性而被广泛研究用于超级电容器材料的开发。尽管迄今为止在生物基碳材料的开发方面取得了进展；寻找具有新颖性能和简单制造工艺的材料对于开发具有高能量密度的可持续超级电容器变得非常重要。因此，该提案具有三个具体目标：（i）从生物材料合成适合超级电容器的新型碳材料（ii）基于已开发的生物基碳材料制造纳米复合电极，以及（iii）制造高效超级电容器基于已开发的生物基组件的设备。所制造的超级电容器装置将是完全可生物降解的，并且能够提供高能量密度和功率密度。因此，该项目的贡献将是通过开发绿色技术以促进电动汽车和便携式电子产品生产的未来进步，为解决欧盟及其他地区的能源问题迈出一大步。
