Abstract
Nanostructured carbons derived from biomass can be thought of as adaptable materials due to their several fascinating features, such as internal pores and a huge surface area. These qualities make them ideal for use as electrocatalysts in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a key process of clean energy close loop of water electrolyzers and fuel cells, or as catalytic supports. In addition, the physicochemical properties of biomass-derived carbon-based materials, such as easy tailorability, chemical inertness, hydrophobicity, and low cost, make them much more desirable than other catalytic materials for the HER process. Furthermore, nanostructured carbon materials derived from biomass are suitable for a variety of processes, including electrocatalytic reactions, organic conversions, and photocatalytic reactions. The aim of this review article is to provide a comprehensive examination of the many methods used to prepare biomass-derived carbon-based materials and their specific uses in heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, relevant studies carried out in recent years involving materials derived from biomass as electrocatalysts for HER are discussed. Finally, we also explore the challenges and future possibilities of biomass-derived carbon materials, as well as their potential for the HER process.
