In this study, biomass hard carbon materials were prepared from camphor wood residues using a carbonization method with low heating rate, and the influence of heating rate on initial coulombic efficiency was explored. A lower heating rate resulted in biomass hard carbon with fewer defects, reducing the initial irreversible capacity loss and improving the initial coulombic efficiency to 82.8%.
Biomass hard carbon anodes have attracted wide attention due to the advantage of low cost and renewability, but the low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) limits their practical application in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In this work, a carbonization method with low heating rate was conducted to prepare biomass hard carbon materials from camphor wood residues and explore the key factors that influence the ICE. As the heating rate decreases, the as-prepared biomass hard carbon with a relatively low amount of defects displays a high ICE of 82.8% by decreasing the initial irreversible capacity loss. Specifically, when the heating rate decreases to 0.25 celcius min-1, the obtained hard carbon exhibits the optimal electrochemical performance with the initial charge capacity of 324.6 mAh g(-1) and excellent cycle stability (90.0% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 50 mA g(-1)). Besides, matched with Na3V2(PO4)/C cathode, the full cell exhibits a high energy density of 245.3 Wh kg(-1) and stable cycling performance. This comprehensive study provides a feasible method and opens new opportunities for biomass hard carbon, and extends the strategy to design the high-performance anode materials for SIBs.
