Recently, the growing demand for high-performing batteries and different environmental challenges (such include global warming and climate change) have increased the requirement and demand for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in advanced technologies (i.e., electric cars and many others). To meet this increasing demand, there is an urgent need for more advanced technologies and materials. In the pursuit of developing anode materials, silicon has emerged as the utmost favourable choice for the next generation of LIBs, aiming to substitute the commonly used graphite. Carbon is commonly used to render silicon (Si) suitable for use since Si cannot be used directly as the electrode in LIBs. One of the recently discovered techniques in the development of high-performance LIBs is the use of inexpensive, sustainable, renewable, and eco-friendly materials. Agro-waste-derived silicon and carbon are often used as long as they don't negatively affect the LIB anode's performance. This review paper presents the advances in the development of silicon-carbon (Si/C) composite anodes sourced from agro-waste for applications in LIBs. It provides an overview of agro-waste-derived silicon-based anode materials and techniques for extracting silica from agricultural wastes. Next, the outline explains the preparation technique of Si/C composites obtained from agricultural residues for use in LIBs. Additionally, the paper delves into recent research challenges and the potential prospects of materials derived from agro-waste in the advancement of sophisticated LIBs battery materials. |
