“…Unfortunately, the outstanding LIB graphite anodes previously put on the market do not have a high reversible capacity in NIB [7]. On the other hand, many other carbonaceous materials such as solid carbon [8,9], carbon fibers [10][11][12][13], carbon nanotubes [14], graphene [15], carbon black [16], cellulose [17]], polyparaphenylene [18], porous carbon [19], carbon spheres [20] and petroleum coke [21] have been found to facilitate the sodium ion incorporation / extraction process. Carbon nanomaterials, which are considered one of the most promising candidates among a limited number of anode materials for NIBs, have such advantages as electrical conductivity, heat resistance, environmental friendliness, and cost effectiveness [14].…”
