2D graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 )nanosheets are ap romising negative electrode candidate for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) owing to its easy scalability,low cost, chemical stability,and potentially high rate capability.However,intrinsic g-C 3 N 4 exhibits poor electronic conductivity,l ow reversible Na-storage capacity,a nd insufficient cyclability.D FT calculations suggest that this could be due to al arge Na + ion diffusion barrier in the innate g-C 3 N 4 nanosheet. Afacile onepot heating of am ixture of low-cost urea and asphalt is strategically applied to yield stackedm ultilayer C/g-C 3 N 4 composites with improved Na-storage capacity (about 2times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 ,upto254 mAh g À1 ), rate capability, and cyclability.AC/g-C 3 N 4 sodium-ion full cell (in which sodium rhodizonate dibasic is used as the positive electrode) demonstrates high Coulombic efficiency (ca. 99.8 %) and anegligible capacity fading over 14 000 cycles at 1Ag À1 .
