Due to its abundant and inexpensive availability, sodium has been considered for powering batteries instead of lithium; hence; sodium-ion batteries are proposed as replacements for lithium-ion batteries. New types of negative electrodes that are carbon-based are studied to improve the electrochemical performance and cycle life of sodium cells.

In the case of carbon-based lithium ion batteries, lithiated carbon is a powerful reducing agent (negative electrode) whereas a metal oxide constitutes the oxydant positive electrode. As the battery is assembled with profit in the discharged state where the active materials present low reactivity to the environment, it is the positive material that has to be in a

Graphite has long served as the industry standard for the state-of-the-art anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it reaches its theoretical limits (low capacity high voltage hysteresis during the delithiation process) and might not keep up with the increasing demand for high-energy-density and high-power LIBs [1].Hard-carbon (non-graphitizable
Moreover, even though a sodium-ion battery with this hard carbon negative electrode would in theory operate at a 0.3-volt lower voltage difference than a standard lithium-ion battery, the higher
Among numerous negative electrode (anode) materials [2] for PIBs the carbon-based ones attract much attention as they deliver high electronic conductivity and promising electrochemical characteristics at relatively low cost. However, graphite used for Li-ion batteries demonstrates huge volume expansion about 60% [3] in PIBs impeding its practical application.
Historically, research on the negative electrode hosts for rocking-chair batteries goes back to mid-1980s, when carbonaceous materials were found to be promising candidates for Li intercalation [5, 6] fore addressing the solvent co-intercalation issue in graphite, disordered carbons (e.g., soft and hard carbons) were the first candidates tested as the anode or negative

In the search for high-energy density Li-ion batteries, there are two battery components that must be optimized: cathode and anode.

Hard carbon was successfully studied also for application in LIBs, indeed the Sony Corporation''s second-generation LIBs included hard carbon at the negative electrode to be later replaced by graphite in the third-generation LIBs [8], [63]. In the past, numerous studies have been performed to investigate the interactions between carbon materials and sodium.
Hard carbons are promising negative electrode materials for Na-ion batteries (SIBs), and the process of (de)insertion of Na + ions into/from hard carbons has attracted much attention in recent research. Being a relatively new technology compared to lithium-ion batteries, the precise operational mechanism and degradation pathways of SIBs remain elusive.

Synthesis of biomass-based hard carbon anodes for lithium-ion batteries is reported. Spruce is used as biomass, and the anodes are prepared by an electrochemical pre-lithiation for full-cell operation. Lithium-ion full-cells based on pre-lithiated anodes show significantly improved performance than pristine anode-based full-cells.
Volume 5, Issue 3, 20 March 2024, 101851 Due to its overall performance, hard carbon (HC) is a promising anode for rechargeable lithium-, sodium-, and potassium-ion batteries (LIBs, NIBs, KIBs).
In this work, lithium-ion battery full-cells based on spruce-derived hard carbon anodes and an electrochemical pre-lithiation method are presented in combination with a detailed analysis of full-cell operation and the lithiation state. The physical and electrochemical properties agree well with those of previous biomass-derived hard carbon anodes.
Graphite has long served as the industry standard for the state-of-the-art anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it reaches its theoretical limits (low capacity high voltage hysteresis during the delithiation process) and might not keep up with the increasing demand for high-energy-density and high-power LIBs .
With its comparably high capacity, rate capability and capacity retention, spruce hard carbon is a promising candidate to replace conventional graphite in lithium-ion battery anodes. However, it must be noted that the full-cells have capacities and a capacity decay that do not yet meet industrial standards.
