Aqueous sodium-ion batteries show promising application in fields of large-scale storage of intermittent renewable energies owing to the earth-abundant sodium resources and incombustible aqueous electrolytes. Primary factors determining whether they can be commercially utilized are low cost and long lifetime. Among current electrode materials, NASICON-type NaTi2(PO4)3 arouses wide interests as an anode material for aqueous sodium-ion batteries as it offers a high specific capacity, fast Na-transport ability and reasonable working potential, however, suffering from insufficient cycling performance caused by severe dissolution of active materials in traditional aqueous electrolytes. In this work, a functional sulfate electrolyte …

Hard carbon is one of the most promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high stability, widespread availability, low-cost, and excellent performance. The electrochemical properties of hard carbon materials depend strongly on the type of precursors. It is, therefore, very important to choose an excellent hard carbon precursor. Polyacrylonitrile, petroleum pitch and peanut shells were used as raw materials to prepare different hard carbon anode materials for LIBs. These hard carbon anode materials were successfully synthesized in two steps. The selected precursor was firstly carbonized at 600℃ for 1 h in argon atmosphere using heating rate …
