“…This carbon phase is accessible for Na + insertion/extraction, as shown in many reports. 2019, 9,1901351 phases with a d-spacing above 0.40 nm gradually transform into pseudo-graphitic phases, accounting for 21.85%, 33.67%, and 54.45% in GL-800, GL-1000, and GL-1200, respectively. As shown in Figure 2a and Figure S2a (Supporting Information), the carbon prepared at a low temperature (GL-600) has a highly disordered microcrystalline structure with a d-spacing of 0.408 nm.…”

“…Various types of materials including carbons, [9][10][11][12][13] oxides/ sulfides, [14][15][16] alloys, [17,18] and phosphorous [19][20][21] have been investigated as anodes for SIBs. Among these materials, hard carbons (HCs) with an amorphous structure and a large interlayer distance are considered the most promising anode materials for practical applications due to their high capacity, low cost, abundance, and nontoxicity.…”

Hard carbons (HCs) are promising anodes of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high capacity, abundance, and low cost. However, the sodium storage mechanism of HCs remains unclear with no consensus in the literature. Here, based on the correlation between the microstructure and Na storage behavior of HCs synthesized over a wide pyrolysis temperature range of 600–2500 °C, an extended “adsorption–insertion” sodium storage mechanism is proposed. The microstructure of HCs can be divided into three types with different sodium storage mechanisms. The highly disordered carbon, with d002 (above 0.40 nm) large enough for sodium ions to freely transfer in, has a “pseudo‐adsorption” sodium storage mechanism, contributing to sloping capacity above 0.1 V, together with other conventional “defects” (pores, edges, heteroatoms, etc.). The pseudo‐graphitic carbon (d‐spacing in 0.36–0.40 nm) contributes to the low‐potential (<0.1 V) plateau capacity through “interlayer insertion” mechanism, with a theoretical capacity of 279 mAh g−1 for NaC8 formation. The graphite‐like carbon with d002 below 0.36 nm is inaccessible for sodium ion insertion. The extended “adsorption–insertion” model can accurately explain the dependence of the sodium storage behavior of HCs with different microstructures on the pyrolysis temperature and provides new insight into the design of HC anodes for SIBs.

“…As a lot of biomass materials mainly consist of elemental C, H, N and O, generating carbonaceous materials from them is practicable. A large variety of biomass materials have been utilized to synthesize carbonaceous materials, such as, banana peels [170], natural cotton [171], corn cobs [172], apple biowaste [173], oatmeal [174], coconut oil [175], okara [176], pomelo peels [177], oak leaves [178]. Different biomass materials have different microstructures and chemical compositions, which determine the microstructure, morphology, specific area and composition of derived carbon materials, finally influencing the sodium storage characteristics.…”

Grid-scale energy storage systems with low-cost and high-performance electrodes are needed to meet the requirements of sustainable energy systems. Due to the wide abundance and low cost of sodium resources and their similar electrochemistry to the established lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted considerable interest as ideal candidates for grid-scale energy storage systems. In the past decade, though tremendous efforts have been made to promote the development of SIBs, and significant advances have been achieved, further improvements are still required in terms of energy/ power density and long cyclic stability for commercialization. In this review, the latest progress in electrode materials for SIBs, including a variety of promising cathodes and anodes, is briefly summarized. Besides, the sodium storage mechanisms, endeavors on electrochemical property enhancements, structural and compositional optimizations, challenges and perspectives of the electrode materials for SIBs are discussed. Though enormous challenges may lie ahead, we believe that through intensive research efforts, sodium-ion batteries with low operation cost and longevity will be commercialized for large-scale energy storage application in the near future.

“…Accordingly, among various types of carbon materials, hard carbon-based materials are considered a promising anode candidate for sodiumion batteries, owing to their large interlayer distance, non-ordered structure, high reversible capacity, low average potential, long cycling stability and low cost. Hard carbon materials are commonly produced from the pyrolysis of polymers, meanwhile they can also be derived from a variety of biomass precursors, such as sucrose [37], glucose [39], lotus petioles [145], coconut oil [21], ramie fibers and corncobs [57], corn cobs [215], horn comb [216], bacterial cellulose [70], oatmeal [22], maize [217], okara [96], dandelion [76], grass [218], black fungus [219]. However, hard carbon anode materials exhibited a low initial Coulombic efficiency due to the formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer.…”

Currently, carbon materials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, porous carbon, have been successfully applied in energy storage area by taking advantage of their structural and functional diversity. However, the development of advanced science and technology has spurred demands for green and sustainable energy storage materials. Biomass-derived carbon, as a type of electrode materials, has attracted much attention because of its structural diversities, adjustable physical/chemical properties, environmental friendliness and considerable economic value. Because the nature contributes the biomass with bizarre microstructures, the biomass-derived carbon materials also show naturally structural diversities, such as 0D spherical, 1D fibrous, 2D lamellar and 3D spatial structures. In this review, the structure design of biomass-derived carbon materials for energy storage is presented. The effects of structural diversity, porosity and surface heteroatom doping of biomass-derived carbon materials in supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries are discussed in detail. In addition, the new trends and challenges in biomass-derived carbon materials have also been proposed for further rational design of biomass-derived carbon materials for energy storage.
