Abstract:
Extensive research into alternate battery electrode materials has been spurred by the need for sustainable energy storage options. Because of its affordability, availability, and eco-friendliness, activated charcoal has become a highly promising option. Nonetheless, a significant barrier to the commercial implementation of activated charcoal-based electrodes is the scalability of the manufacturing processes. An extensive summary of scalable production methods for activated charcoal-based electrodes used in commercial battery applications is given in this review paper. We go through an aspect of electrode production techniques, such as binder selection, electrode assembly, and physical and chemical activation processes. We also investigate how manufacturing characteristics like porosity, surface area, and shape affect electrode performance. Additionally, we highlight recent advancements and innovative approaches to address scalability issues and optimize electrode production for large-scale manufacturing. Through this review, we aim to provide insights into the current state-of-the-art techniques, challenges, and future directions in the scalable manufacturing of activated charcoal-based electrodes for commercial battery applications.
