Abstract

In the modern world, energy storage devices have a key role due to the increasing need for sustainable energy. Carbon-derived materials are studied widely worldwide for supercapacitor and battery applications due to their diverse structural, electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. As the world is moving toward environmentally friendly materials, practices, and technologies, these carbon-based modern materials are one of the best options available. These materials can be synthesized using several green synthesis methods and easily recycled to reduce the production of e-waste. Even though the performance of recycled carbon materials reduces, they can be utilized for other applications, such as water and air treatments. This book chapter discusses the role of carbon in supercapacitor applications and how it can be synthesized, recycled, and reused properly to reduce the amount of e-waste and its effects in nature.
