“…The surface area obtained was 677 m 2 /g and the reversible capacities were as high as 1653 mAh/g for LIBs and 427 mAh/g for SIBs. I. Izanzar et al [ 155 ] explored higher pyrolysis temperatures to convert date pulp and seeds into hard carbons for the negative electrodes of SIBs. They observed a positive influence on the reversible capacities, which varied between 200 and 300 mAh/g.…”

Even though research on porous carbon materials from biomass dates back to at least hundred years, it is still an extremely relevant topic. These materials can be found in applications that range from those that are widely known, such as water treatment, to others that are newer and indispensable for the transition towards environmentally friendly technologies, such as lithium- and sodium-ion batteries. This review summarizes some of the most relevant research that has been published concerning production technologies, insights on the chemical reaction mechanisms, characterization techniques, as well as some examples of the applications and the properties that the carbon materials must fulfil to be used in those applications.

“…In comparison, midrange pyrolysis temperatures from 1100 to 1550 °C (Figure 10b) feature two regions, with sloping from 1 to 0.1 V, and a plateau at 0.1 V akin to other alkali metal intercalation in the expanded graphene layers. [158,161] Adv. Thus, the storage mechanism is attributed to pore filling, as increased number of mesopores is observed for carbon samples pyrolyzed above 1000 °C.…”

electrolyte, but were limited by significant safety concerns, such as thermal runaway, arising from the lithium metal anode and its tendency for dendrite formation. These dendrites develop and grow due to uneven lithium deposition caused by irregularities in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) passivation layer, which forms via electrolyte decomposition on the highly reactive lithium anode surface. Eventually, repeated cycling can result in an internal short circuit via puncturing of the separator by dendrites for cell failure and possible thermal runaway. Extensive research was conducted to mitigate these concerns, primarily by electrolyte manipulation to improve SEI uniformity or implementation of a polymer based solid-state electrolyte. However, this issue has still not been fully overcome even to this day, resulting in the alternative strategy of replacing the lithium anode with an intercalation-based storage material.The development of these "rocking chair" batteries began in the 1980s, where charging transfers lithium from cathode to anode and discharging reverses this process, with the first practical demonstrations by Scrosati. [2] Substantial progress came with the discoveries of the standard electrode materials: LiCoO 2 cathode by Goodenough and co-workers in 1981, [3] and graphite anode by Yazami and Touzain in 1983. [4] The first cell comprising a carbon anode and LiCoO 2 cathode was tested by Yoshino in 1983, which exhibited superior safety features as compared to lithium metal anode. [5] Optimization of the electrolyte came from replacing propylene carbonate (PC), which underwent a decomposition reaction with graphite due to cointercalation and exfoliation, to ethylene carbonate (EC)/ diethyl carbonate (DEC) mixtures. A schematic of this mature LIB is shown in Figure 1a. Sony commercialized the lithiumion battery (LIB) in 1991, where the new electrochemistry demonstrated advantages of higher energy density, longer life time, and no memory effect, as compared to the conventional nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride secondary cells. Further progress and improvement in electrolyte, electrode microstructure, and cell manufacturing has led to a doubling of energy density for LIBs since their inception, almost 30 years later, despite their analogous operation mechanism. [6] Additionally, from their initial application for handheld electronics, LIBs are now seeing rapid utilization in vehicle electrification, with the global LIB capacity projected to double to 278 GWh per year Since their commercialization by Sony in 1991, graphite anodes in combination with various cathodes have enabled the widespread success of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), providing over 10 billion rechargeable batteries to the global population. Next-generation nonaqueous alkali metal-ion batteries, namely sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), are projected to utilize intercalation-based carbon anodes as well, due to their favorable electrochemical properties. While traditionally graphite anodes have d...

“…Graphite, for instance, has been commercialized as the anode material in LIBs since early 1990s. However, previous researches have demonstrated that graphite cannot serve as an anode material for NIBs and NICs for its poor electrochemical performance . In contrast, carbon‐based materials with turbostratic structures, or hard carbon materials, with different Na + storage mechanism, may exhibit good performance when used as anode materials for NIBs and NICs.…”

Developing electrochemical energy storage devices with high energy-power densities, long cycling life, as well as low cost is of great significance. Sodium-ion capacitors (NICs), with Na + as carriers, are composed of a high capacity battery-type electrode and a high rate capacitive electrode. However, unlike their lithium-ion analogues, the research on NICs is still in its infancy. Rational material designs still need to be developed to meet the increasing requirements for NICs with superior energy-power performance and low cost. In the past few years, various materials have been explored to develop NICs with the merits of superior electrochemical performance, low cost, good stability, and environmental friendliness. Here, the material design strategies for sodium-ion capacitors are summarized, with focus on cathode materials, anode materials, and electrolytes. The challenges and opportunities ahead for the future research on materials for NICs are also proposed. www.advancedsciencenews.com www.small-journal.com to LICs, NICs are still in their infancy stage with many difficulties for their practical application. [23] For example, many battery-type electrode materials for lithium ion storage cannot meet the requirements of NIC devices due to the large size of Na + ions. In addition, due to the redox potential of Na/Na + is 0.3 V higher than that of Li/Li + , the working voltage ranges of NICs are expected to be a little narrower than LICs, which may influence the energy densities of NICs. Moreover, the electrolyte should provide a rapid migration process of Na + ions. Therefore, the rational material design will play crucial roles in the electrochemical performance improvement of NICs.So far, there are few papers which summarize the recent progress in NIC research area. In particular, the materials used in NICs, including anode, cathode, and electrolyte, have not been systematically reviewed. In this article, we focus on the latest advances in the cathode materials, anode materials, and electrolytes for NICs. First, we review the energy storage mechanism and demonstrate the configurations of NICs; then, we summarize the recent progress on electrode materials, including anode materials, cathode materials, as well as different electrolytes for NICs; finally, the challenges and future prospects for NIC research are proposed.
