Increasing Accessible Subsurface to Improving Rate Capability and Cycling Stability of Sodium-Ion Batteries

Bo Yin et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the mechanism for improving the rate capability of carbonaceous anode through heteroatom doping is not as traditionally believed, which is to increase the diffusion-controlled capacity by expanding the interlayer spacing. Instead, it is found that doping has little impact on interlayer spacing in the bulk phase, but can significantly expand the spacing in the subsurface region when syngergized with tensile stress. This leads to improved accessibility of the subsurface region at high current densities, resulting in higher specific capacity and cycling stability for the electrodes.
