Abstract Among all precursors for fabricating carbon aerogels, biomass is by far the most cost-effective, environmental friendly and sustainable material because of their low cost and rich carbon. Biomass based carbon aerogel has attracted great interest and is expected to be widely used in electrochemical energy storage devices and absorptions owing to their low density, high elastic, large specific surface area, good electrical conductivity and other excellent properties. This paper summarizes the process of fabricating biomass carbon aerogel, including cellulose carbon aerogel, lignin-base carbon aerogel, biomass-derivatives carbon aerogel, and carbon aerogel composite material. The overview on recent advances of biomass-based carbon aerogel is given in the fields, such as adsorption and electrochemical application. Furthermore, the opportunities and challenges that biomass carbon aerogels subjected to in the large-scale preparation of uniform structure and good performance are analyzed.
