Reconfiguring Hard Carbons with Emerging Sodium‐Ion Batteries: A Perspective
Tianjin University · National University of Singapore · +2 more institutions
Abstract
Hard carbons, an important category of amorphous carbons, are non-graphitizable and are widely accepted as the most promising anode materials for emerging sodium-ion batteries (SIBs)， because of their changeable low-potential charge/discharge plateaus. However, their microstructures are not fixed and are difficult to accurately demonstrate as graphites do. The successful use of hard carbons in SIBs revives the interest to clearly picture their complicated microstructures that are in close relevance to sodium storage. In this review, the past definitions and structural models of hard carbons are revisited first, and a renewed understanding of their sodium storage is presented. Three critical structural features…
