Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries as a prospective alternative to lithium-ion batteries are facing the challenge of developing high-performance, low-cost and sustainable anode materials. Hard carbons are appropriate to store sodium ions, but major energy and environmental concerns during their fabrication proces...
