Disordered carbons are promising anode materials for sodium ion batteries. However, a major drawback of these materials is their low coulombic efficiency in the first cycles, which indicates parasitic reactions. Such reactions can be suppressed by alumina coating on the surface of the anodic materials; more ions are then available for electrochemical activity, and less electrolyte solution is lost. On the other hand, some pores and surface edge sites are passivated by the coating and are no longer available for reversible reaction with sodium ions; hence, their contribution is eliminated, leading to reduction in specific capacity. We show herein that electrochemical insertion of sodium ions into carbon anodes prior to alumina coating has a double positive effect on anode perfomances, meaning preventing passivation and maintaining high specific capacity. We show that the artificial layer still prevented parasitic reactions, while the pores and surface edge sites retained electrochemical activity. The capacity values were thus restored and even became higher as a result of preventing the development of a surface layer. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements assessed the energetic states of the electrodes and confirmed that the alumina coating forms a barrier for interfacial electron transfer from the electrode to the solution at any polarization stage.
