Abstract
Hard carbon (HC) is regarded as a highly promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its low cost and excellent performance. However, low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and sodium storage capacity hinder its development. Closed pore structures are considered an effective strategy to improve ICE and the capacity of hard carbon. Nonetheless, template agents are unavoidable in the closed pores creation process, and more steps lead to low productivity. Herein, turbostratic microcrystalline structures and abundant closed pores are induced without additional template agents via a self-reconfiguration strategy inspired by the plant stomata bionic structure. Benefiting from closed pores formation, ICE and Na+ storage specific capacity are improved to 85 % and 341 mAh∙g−1 (HC-PC) significantly, compared with HC-C (79 %, 250 mAh∙g−1). HC-PC also exhibits an outstanding capacity retention ratio of 96.9 % (0.3 A g−1) and 91.3 % (1 A g−1) after 1000 cycles.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development.
The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
