“…Graphitic carbon is the universally utilized commercial anode material, but its low Li/Na theoretical capacity (372/25 mAh/g) and low rate capability limit its widespread, practical use [19]. Despite the significant progress in LIBs and SIBs, the earth availability of Li/Na, charge time, durability, temperature tolerance, self-discharge, and recyclability of the decayed batteries are creating a significant challenge [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Therefore, developing novel anodes with high specific capacities, greater rate capabilities, and cycling longevity is imperative.…”

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (SIBs) are deemed green and efficient electrochemical energy storage and generation devices; meanwhile, acquiring a competent anode remains a serious challenge. Herein, the density-functional theory (DFT) was employed to investigate the performance of V4C3 MXene as an anode for LIBs and SIBs. The results predict the outstanding electrical conductivity when Li/Na is loaded on V4C3. Both Li2xV4C3 and Na2xV4C3 (x = 0.125, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2) showed expected low-average open-circuit voltages of 0.38 V and 0.14 V, respectively, along with a good Li/Na storage capacity of (223 mAhg−1) and a good cycling performance. Furthermore, there was a low diffusion barrier of 0.048 eV for Li0.0625V4C3 and 0.023 eV for Na0.0625V4C3, implying the prompt intercalation/extraction of Li/Na. Based on the findings of the current study, V4C3-based materials may be utilized as an anode for Li/Na-ion batteries in future applications.

Microcrystalline carbon is the essential constituent unit that constitutes the hard carbon material for sodium-ion batteries. However, the evolution mechanism of microcrystalline carbon remains controversial, on account of the diversity of biomass composition. Here, we conducted a systematic study of the evolutionary mechanism of microcrystalline carbon using lignin and cellulose as models. It was found that lignin is more readily converted into microcrystalline carbon structures than cellulose. Owing to the differences in pyrolysis processes, lignin-derived microcrystalline carbon exhibits isotropic arrangement properties and evolves into long-range ordered graphite-like structures with increasing pyrolysis temperatures. In contrast, the anisotropic arrangement of cellulose-derived microcrystalline carbon allows them to maintain long-range disordered structures under high-temperature pyrolysis. Upon further analysis using four forestry biomass wastes with different compositional ratios to prepare hard carbon, we found that proper ratios of lignin and cellulose ensure a sufficient amount of microcrystalline carbon while avoiding overgrowth of microcrystalline carbon, where the tightness of the microcrystalline carbon stacking structure was positively correlated with lignin content. Besides, coconut-shell-derived hard carbon has a long-range disordered and short-range ordered microcrystalline stacking structure and exhibits a high capacity of 329.3 mAh g −1 .

“…The use of SIBs presents a promising prospect; however, the progress of SIBs is impeded by a significant obstacle in the identification of appropriate electrode materials that can endure the stable accommodation of Na + ions over extended cycles. In contrast to the LIB system, Na + has a larger ionic radius (1.02 Å) than Li + (0.76 Å) [ 11 , 12 ]. This disparity may result in hindered ion diffusion, significant volumetric expansion, and more pronounced structural distortion of the electrode materials during the reversible sodiation/desodiation processes.…”

As a promising energy storage system, sodium-ion batteries face challenges related to the stability and high-rate capability of their electrode materials, especially carbon, which is the most studied anode. Previous studies have demonstrated that three-dimensional architectures composed of porous carbon materials with high electrical conductivity have the potential to enhance the storage performance of sodium-ion batteries. Here, high-level N/O heteroatoms-doped carbonaceous flowers with hierarchical pore architecture are synthesized through the direct pyrolysis of homemade bipyridine-coordinated polymers. The carbonaceous flowers could provide effective transport pathways for electrons/ions, thus allowing for extraordinary storage properties in sodium-ion batteries. As a consequence, sodium-ion battery anodes made of carbonaceous flowers exhibit outstanding electrochemical features, such as high reversible capacity (329 mAh g−1 at 30 mA g−1), superior rate capability (94 mAh g−1 at 5000 mA g−1), and ultralong cycle lifetimes (capacity retention rate of 89.4% after 1300 cycles at 200 mA g−1). To better investigate the sodium insertion/extraction-related electrochemical processes, the cycled anodes are experimentally analyzed with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The feasibility of the carbonaceous flowers as anode materials was further investigated using a commercial Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode for sodium-ion full batteries. All these findings indicate that carbonaceous flowers may possess great potential as advanced materials for next-generation energy storage applications.
