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.
Hard carbon (HC) is a promising negative-electrode material for Na-ion batteries. HC electrochemically stores Na + ions, resulting in a non-stoichiometric chemical composition depending on their nanoscale structure, including the carbon framework, and interstitial pores.
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).
Graphite ineffectiveness in sodium storage has induced extensive research on non-graphitic carbons as high-performance active materials for negative electrodes of Na-ion batteries.
Before 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 electrode in LIBs. Those efforts indeed resulted in the commercialization of the 1 st generation LIBs by Sony with Coke-derived soft carbon (SC) as the negative electrode .
