Using pitch as a precursor for carbon materials in alkali metal ion (Li<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>) batteries has become of great interest. However, its direct pyrolysis often leads to microstructures with a high orientation and small interlayer spacing due to uncontrolled liquid-phase carbonization, resulting in subpar electrochemical performance. It is therefore important to control the microstructures of pitch-derived carbon materials in order to improve their electrochemical properties. We evaluate the latest progress in the development of these materials using various microstructural engineering approaches, highlighting their use in metal-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The advantages and limitations of pitch molecules and their carbon derivatives are outlined, together with strategies for their modification in order to improve their properties for specific applications.

In recent years, various carbon-based materials have served as sulfur hosts and catalysts for accelerating sulfur conversion redox kinetics and alleviating LiPS shuttling. However, they often suffer from irreversible passivation and structural changes that destroy their long-term performance.
