Abstract

Hard carbon stands out as an auspicious anode material for commercial sodium-ion batteries, yet the correlation between plateau-potential capacity and its pore architecture remains poorly understood. In this study, we systematically investigated the sodium-ion storage behavior in hard carbons with tailored pore architecture. The plateau-potential capacity of hard carbon is attributed to the filling of sodium clusters within closed nanopores and open nanopores that are impervious to the solvent molecules of the electrolyte. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has been shown to be an effective method for estimating the volume of nanopores that can store sodium clusters. A rapid and user-friendly butanol…
