Among the carbonization techniques developed for biomass conversion, the ionothermal carbonization technique has attracted attention in recent years regarding its advantages and the properties of the carbon materials obtained. Compared to traditional carbonization methods, ionothermal carbonization can be performed at lower temperatures, in relatively short periods, and in a controlled manner, and provides a greener and more sustainable perspective, enabling the controlled conversion of biomass into carbon material. Ionic liquids enable the production of functional carbon structures that can be optimized for supercapacitor applications by controlling the pore structure and chemical composition of carbon materials. Since carbon materials produced by ionothermal carbonization have critical properties such as high specific surface area, optimized porosity, and high electrical conductivity, the carbon materials obtained have a significant potential for supercapacitor applications. It is anticipated that carbon materials synthesized with ionic liquids can help make electrode materials suitable for ion diffusion by providing better control over pore size and distribution. In addition, carbon materials obtained by using ionic liquids can be doped with heteroatoms such as nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus to increase the electroactive surface area and improve the faradic capacitance. Thus, with future studies, the ionothermal carbonization technique is expected become more widespread industrially and play a key role in sustainable energy storage technologies. This review article focuses on the synthesis, properties, and supercapacitor applications of ionothermal carbon materials for the first time. Various carbon-based materials have been briefly mentioned in this review. Still, the focus is on ionothermal carbon for supercapacitor applications as a green and sustainable energy source, in response to the ever-increasing global crisis. Additionally, research studies and experimental parameters in recent years are discussed within the scope of this review.
