AB  - As renewable energy resources become more popular, cost reduction and improved performance and stability play a decisive role in their widespread commercialization. One example is fuel cells, which can convert chemical energy into electricity with a high efficiency, but their cost due to the usage of platinum as a catalyst is still a limiting factor. Thus, the development of novel materials, ideally metal-free, as alternatives to platinum is a crucial factor. Hydrothermal carbonization presents a promising and inexpensive approach to convert any kind of biomass or biowaste into useful carbon materials for various applications. This approach provides materials with tunable surface areas, pore properties, and dopants via an easy one-pot synthesis. Based on this process, new metal-free materials are presented from different starting materials as well as in combination with graphene and carbon nanotubes.
