Abstract With the implementation of the “Dual Carbon” strategic goals, biomass-derived materials, particularly skin collagen and its derivatives, are gaining increasing attention in the field of energy storage due to their inherent advantages of high safety, low cost, and sustainability. This paper systematically summarizes the recent progress in the application of skin collagen and its derivatives in energy storage devices. Firstly, the fundamental structural characteristics of skin collagen are introduced, and the materials are categorized into four types—leather, collagen fibers, collagen protein, and gelatin—based on their structural differences. The specific properties and potential applications of each category are then discussed in detail. Subsequently, the focus is placed on the utilization of these materials in key components of batteries and supercapacitors, such as electrolytes, separators, electrodes, and electrode/electrolyte interface coatings. The advantages and limitations of each application are critically analyzed. Finally, the current status and future prospects of skin collagen-based materials in energy storage are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the remaining challenges and potential directions for further research. This paper aims to provide new insights for the design and development of next-generation energy storage systems that are both economically and environmentally sustainable.
