These organic materials are highly favored as an important alternative to conventional materials because of their lightweight nature and high strength and stiffness. Hence, the use of biopolymers is being extended to several fields, including packaging, agriculture, automotive, medical, and electronics. Electrochemical energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors, can be fabricated via custom biopolymer production methods. They are either chemically produced from bioresources or are genetically modified organisms. Although the prospective applications of biopolymers are limited, they still need to be used in combination with other materials in composites. This helps to improve their inherent physical characteristics in addition to the electrochemical performance of the biologically active molecules. The current review provides a detailed introduction to several biopolymer production methods and a comprehensive account of recent advances, especially the use of different additives in bioresource-derived polymer composites for both batteries and supercapacitors. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85107967755&doi=10.1016%2fj.jece.2021.105832&partnerID=40&md5=759f89311899e757c23297374743d167 id_number: 10.1016/j.jece.2021.105832 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering volume: 9 number: 5 refereed: TRUE issn: 22133437 citation: Anthony, L.S. and Vasudevan, M. and Perumal, V. and Ovinis, M. and Raja, P.B. and Edison, T.N.J.I.
