Carbon aerogels (CAs) are excellent carrier materials with a large surface area and high porosity. In addition to the above-mentioned wonderful characteristics, aerogel with lignin as a precursor is also a material with high bioactivity and degradability. Lignin carbon aerogels (LCAs) have a wide range of applications, and can be used in supercapacitors, adsorbents and catalysts, etc., but their preparation process is more complex. In this paper, we review the preparation and influencing factors of LCAs, analyze their properties and structural characterization, and aim to provide references for the optimal preparation, effective characterization, and expansion of applications of LCAs.
