New nanostructured materials inspired by the biomaterials are created all the time. In this case, a new hollow aurilave-like carbon was created, inspired by the natural spores of Lycoperdon Boavista (SLBs). This new material is “co-doped” in nitrogen and oxygen, and has high performance in sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors due to its high specific surface area and it being rich in defects. This new material could have several applications in electrochemistry, and further applications are currently being researched.
