High-Crystallinity Wrinkled Hard Carbon via Molecular-Level Anchoring Glucose Molecules with Cooperative-Assembly of Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds for Sodium-Ion Batteries (Adv. Funct. Mater. 17/2025)

Abstract

Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds

In article number 2420580, Wei Zhang and co-workers establish an innovative strategy for synthesizing hard carbon materials with high crystallinity and highly exposed surfaces by leveraging the anchoring effect of molecularly bonded hydrogen bonds in carbon precursor molecules. This approach allows for precise control of intermolecular forces and thereby enables highly predictable synthesis of innovative materials.
