Increasing technological demands, rising inflation, and global ecological crises of the modern era pose challenges that require extensive research dedicated to improving energy-storage technology using high-performance, economically viable, and sustainable materials. Currently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate the field of energy-storage technology due to their relatively long life cycle and high energy density . However, the primary anodic material used in LIBs for commercial purposes, graphitic carbon, faces limitations in terms of its low theoretical gravimetric capacity of 372 mAh/g, hindering its potential for future technologies . Furthermore, the unsustainable refinement and production routes of both natural and synthetic graphite are energy-intensive, highly polluting, and geopolitically problematic.
