Starting from the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, billions of personal protective equipment (PPE), mainly face masks (FMs), are reported to be worn and thrown away every month worldwide. Most waste winds up landfills undergoes an incineration process after being released into environment. This could pose a significant risk long-term effects both human health ecology due tremendous amount non-biodegradable substances PPE waste. Consequently, alternative approaches for recycling imperatively needed lessen harmful The current methods facilitate conventional treatment waste, most it results materials with decreased values their characteristics. Thus, is crucial create efficient environmentally friendly FMs other products added value, such as high-quality carbon materials. paper reviews focuses on techniques that economically viable beneficial environment through carbonization technology, which transforms highly valuable materials, well exploring possible utilization these energy storage applications. In conclusion, this provides copious knowledge information regarding waste-derived carbon-based would benefit potential green research.

The practical use of supercapacitors necessitates the development efficient carbon electrodes. Currently, recycling discarded masks (polypropylene, PP) produced during COVID-19 epidemic has become a social problem that attracted widespread attention. Converting these waste materials into high-performance electrode offers sustainable and cost-effective solution, paving way for resource-efficient energy storage technologies. Herein, through simple sulfonation cross-linking strategy to improve thermal stability polypropylene (PP) molecular chains followed NaOH activation, we successfully transformed highly value-added activated material (SMAC). process introduces oxgen-containing functional groups, which serves both wetting properties interface between electrolyte, as well contributes increase in pseudocapacitance. Therefore, optimal SMAC-2 with large specific surface area 2629.7 m2 g–1 demonstrated an adequate capacitance 338.1 F 6 M KOH while maintaining 203.7 even at current density 50 A g–1. In organic electrolyte (1 Et4NBF4/AN) expanded voltage window 0–2.7 V, delivered 138.1 0.5 Furthermore, sodium-ion hybrid capacitor assembled commercial hard cathode anode, respectively, reached 117.3 Wh kg–1 power 257.3 W kg–1, highlighting promising application prospects mask-derived carbon.
