Abstract
The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries, driven by the rapid expansion of electronics and electric vehicles, may face limitations due to the finite supply of lithium resources. Recently, significant advancements have been made in anode materials, which have long restricted the progress of sodium-ion batteries. Carbon-based anodes for SIBs have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. This review focuses on research progress related to the sodium storage capabilities of carbon materials used as SIB anodes, such as graphite, amorphous carbon, and biomass-derived carbon. The sodium storage mechanisms in these materials, particularly hard carbon, are examined in depth, with attention to structural characteristics, pore morphology, and surface functionalization to enhance the understanding of sodium storage behavior. Furthermore, this paper reviews the current state of SIB material research, assesses potential future developments, and provides essential insights into scientific and practical challenges in advancing SIB technology.
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.
