“…[16] However, Lyu et al also observed the shift of the G-band of pyrolytic natural mushroom spores in the plateau region. [17] Moreover, in many recently published literature, some hard carbons delivered a plateau capacity that exceeds not only the theoretical specific capacity of intercalation (279 mA h g −1 with the formation of NaC 8 ), [18] but also the saturated pore filling capacity. [5b] In other words, the sodium ion storage behaviors of some hard carbons cannot be explained by any mechanisms proposed so far.…”

With the rapid development of renewable energy technologies, there is a growing demand for eco-efficient and low-cost electrochemical batteries for large-scale electric energy storage. Due to their similar redox chemistry but much lower material costs to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) appear as a promising candidate for grid-scale electric storage applications. [1] However, the much larger radius of Na + (0.102 nm) than that of Li + (0.076 nm) leads to a kinetic restraint that seriously hinders the development of high-performance Na insertion materials, especially anode materials for SIBs. [2] For instance, graphite has acted successfully as a high capacity anode material in LIBs, but fails to serve as a Na storage anode for SIBs because of its thermodynamic limitation for the formation of stable Na-graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). [3] Fortunately, as a class of amorphous carbonaceous materials with larger interlayer spacing and rich chemically active defects, [4] hard carbon can reversibly accommodate Na ions and deliver a quite large capacity of 250-480 mA h g −1 , depending on different microstructures of the materials. [5] Usually, the microstructure of hard carbon can be briefly described as a hybrid of randomly oriented, rumpled, twisted pseudographitic nanodomains and amorphous nanodomains, in which there exist abundant defects and pores with various sizes. Typically, for sodium storage, hard carbon presents a sloping capacity at the high-potential region and a long plateau capacity at the low-potential region, the latter of which plays a decisive role in realizing the high-energy-density SIBs. However, due to the tremendous difference in the microstructure of hard carbon materials, the sodium storage mechanism on hard carbon remains elusive.In 2000, Stevens and Dahn first proposed an "insertionadsorption (filling)" mechanism based on the sodium storage behaviors in glucose-derived hard carbon. [6] The high potential sloping region and the low potential plateau region were attributed to the Na + insertion into carbon layers and Na + adsorption onto nanopores, respectively. Subsequently, this Hard carbon has the potential to serve as a high-capacity anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), however, its Na + storage mechanism, particularly on the low potential plateau, remains controversial. To overcome this issue, two types of hard carbons with different microstructures are employed and the relationship between the microstructures and Na + storage behaviors is evaluated. By the combination of operando X-ray diffraction, ex situ Raman spectroscopy, NMR, and theoretical calculation, it is found that the sodium storage capacities of the hard carbons in the low potential plateau region contain the concurrent contributions from both interlayer intercalation and micropores filling, and the ratio of the two contributors greatly depends on the microstructure of hard carbon materials. Moreover, an electrochemical pointer (potential inflection point at the end of the disc...

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) hold great potential in the application of large‐scale energy storage. With the coming commercialization of SIBs, developing advanced anode of particularly hard carbon is becoming increasingly urgent yet challenging. Hard carbon still suffers from unclear sodium storage mechanism, unsatisfactory performance, and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE). Herein, the current state‐of‐the‐art advances in designing hard carbon anodes for high‐performance SIBs is summarized. First, the formation process of hard carbon and typical sodium storage models of “insertion–adsorption,” “adsorption–insertion,” “adsorption–pore filling,” and “adsorption–insertion–pore filling” are introduced systematically. Then, the key strategies including morphological engineering, heteroatom doping, and graphitic structure regulation are presented to enhance the capacity of hard carbon based on the in‐depth understanding of sodium storage behaviors. Subsequently, to promote the practical application of hard carbon, more attention is paid to the methods of ICE improvement, including electrolyte optimization, defect and surface engineering, and presodiation. Whereafter, hard‐carbon‐based SIBs and their intriguing applications are briefly sketched. Finally, future directions and challenging perspectives of hard‐carbon anodes for SIBs are proposed from the viewpoints of storage mechanisms, electrode structures, and presodiation techniques.
