Therefore, sodium-ion, potassium-ion, and sodium-metal batteries have emerged as promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their abundance and cost-effectiveness. This review explores the transformative potential of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), derived from renewable biomass, as sustainable and high-performance materials for these emerging battery technologies.
