The study focused on the synthesis of hard carbon, a highly porous material that serves as the negative electrode of rechargeable batteries, through the use of magnesium oxide (MgO) as an inorganic template of nano-sized pores inside hard carbon.
Carbon materials, including graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, graphene, and carbon nanotubes, are widely used as high-performance negative electrodes for sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries (SIBs and PIBs).
As negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries, scientists have tried various materials like Alloys, transition metal di-chalcogenides and hard carbon-based materials. Sn (tin), Sb (antimony) , and P (phosphorus) are mostly studied elements in the category of alloys. Phosphorus has the highest theoretical capacity (2596 mAhg −1) .
The capacity of this newly developed hard carbon electrode material is certainly remarkable, and greatly surpasses that of graphite (372 mAh/g), which is currently used as the negative electrode material in lithium-ion batteries.
Prof. Komaba states, "Until now, the capacity of carbon-based negative electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries was mostly around 300 to 350 mAh/g. Though values near 438 mAh/g have been reported, those materials require heat treatment at extremely high temperatures above 1900°C.
Here, we investigate HCs from a mixture of sugars (D-glucose and pectin) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as an anode material for PIBs with special attention to the final product's yield and electrochemical properties as a negative electrode for potassium-ion batteries. 2.
