Abstract

The natural fibres are emerging as low cost and sustainable procursors for the production of advanced carbon based matrials due to its hierical structure, renewability and its high content of carbon. This review provides concept on the natural origin carbon materials and the processes involved in the production, the properties of the precursors, and the application. The thermochemical conversion techniquies are discussed and linked with the functional properties. High specific area from 200-2500m²/g, electrical conductivity upto 103-S/m and the electrochemical capacitance of 100 and 400F/g are reported for material on precursor type and processing. The processed carbon materials can be used in catalysis, adsorption, energy storage and remediation of the environment. The carbon fibres that are produced naturally are sustainable, eco-friendly and cost effective as compared to synthetic carbon fibres. The review also elaborates the ideas on the crucial structure-property relationship and the gap in the research to help in the further development.

天然纤维作为先进碳材料的前体：加工与应用综述

由于天然纤维的层次结构、可再生性和高碳含量，它正在成为生产先进碳基材料的低成本和可持续的替代品。本文综述了天然碳材料的概念、生产工艺、前驱体的性质及其应用。讨论了热化学转化技术，并将其与功能性质联系起来。根据前驱体类型和加工工艺，材料的比面积可达200-2500m²/g，电导率可达103-S/m，电化学电容可达100和400F/g。加工后的碳材料可用于催化、吸附、储能和环境修复。与合成碳纤维相比，天然生产的碳纤维具有可持续性、环保性和成本效益。本文还对关键的构性关系和研究中的不足进行了阐述，以期对今后的发展有所帮助。
