Closing the Loop: Italian Waste Biomass as a Sustainable Source for Sodium‐Ion Battery Anodes

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 7, 7 April 2026.
Research into sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) is of paramount importance for developing a sustainable energy system in the EU. SIBs offer a cheaper alternative to lithium‐ion batteries that rely on graphite by using waste biomass, which is usually discarded, to prepare hard carbons that can be used as an anode material.
