ABSTRACT
Hard carbon is regarded as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, it usually suffers from the issues of low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and poor rate performance, severely hindering its practical application. Herein, a flexible, self-supporting, and scalable hard carbon paper (HCP) derived from scalable and renewable tissue is rationally designed and prepared as practical additive-free anode for room/low-temperature SIBs with high ICE. In ether electrolyte, such HCP achieves an ICE of up to 91.2% with superior high-rate capability, ultralong cycle life (e.g., 93% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 200 mA g-1 ) and outstanding low-temperature performance. Working mechanism analyses reveal that the plateau region is the rate-determining step for HCP with a lower electrochemical reaction kinetics, which can be significantly improved in ether electrolyte.
