Abstract: Electrochemical energy storage and energy conversion technology is an important way to solve sustainable energy and environmental problems, and the cost and performance of its electrode materials are the key to commercial applications. Nitrogen-doped carbon materials are widely used in electrochemical energy materials because of their unique physical and chemical properties. Protein-derived nitrogen-doped carbon materials have attracted much attention due to their abundant raw materials, simple synthesis and eco-friendly, but the influence mechanism of precursors and preparation process on structure and properties, and the structure-effect relationship in applications still needs to be clearly established, which is the theoretical basis and key step to achieving the large-scale applications. This review investigates the synthesis and perfor-mance data of protein-derived nitrogen-doped carbon materials used as electrochemical energy materials in recent years. Firstly, we summarize the conditions of raw material selection by comprehensively analyzing the data of various protein-derived carbon materials. Then we analyze the influence mechanisms of different preparation methods and process parameters on the structure and performance of nitrogen-doped carbon materials. In addition, we discuss in detail the structure-effect relationship of protein-derived nitrogen-doped carbon materials in electrochemical energy storage and electrocatalytic energy conversion applications. Finally, we present the challenges and development prospects of protein-derived nitrogen-doped carbon materials in the large-scale application of electrochemical energy materials. We expect this review to contribute to the design, development and application of novel electrochemical energy materials.
