Abstract
Hard carbon (HC) functions as a crucial anode component in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), distinguished by its substantial specific capacity, extended lifespan, and excellent cycling performance. Given the swift growth of electric vehicles and sustainable energy storage applications, the requirement for efficient SIBs has surged, prompting considerable advancements in HC anode research. Diverse synthesis techniques, including high-temperature pyrolysis, chemical vapour deposition, and solvothermal methods, have been developed to produce HC materials exhibiting varied morphologies and structures, thereby accommodating different application requirements. Additionally, surface and doping modifications to HC materials have demonstrated improvements in their electrochemical performance. Structural optimisation remains a focal area, as enhancements to pore structure, specific surface area, and conductivity have proven effective in elevating electrochemical performance. This review examines the storage pathways and modification approaches of HC anodes in SIBs and explores potential future applications of these materials in SIB technology. In addition, the development status of hard carbon anode materials based on various types of coal as precursors is summarized, and feasible views are put forward for the bottleneck of their industrial application.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
