Deriving battery grade materials from natural sources is a key element to establishing sustainable energy storage technologies. In this work, we present the use of avocado peels as a sustainable source for conversion into hard carbon based anodes for sodium ion batteries. The avocado peels are simply washed and dried then proceeded to a high temperature conversion step. Materials characterization reveals conversion of the avocado peels in high purity, highly porous hard carbon powders. When prepared as anode materials they show to the capability to reversibly store and release sodium ions. The hard carbon-based electrodes exhibit excellent cycling performance, namely, a reversible capacity of 352.55 mAh/g at 0.05 A/g, rate capability up to 86 mAh/g at 3500 mA/g, capacity retention of >90%, and 99.9% coulombic efficiencies after 500 cycles. This study demonstrates avocado derived hard carbon as a sustainable source that can provide excellent electrochemical and battery performance as anodes in sodium ion batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted increasing attention for storing renewable clean energy, owing to their cost-effectiveness. Nonetheless, SIBs still remain significant challenges in terms of the availability of suitable anode materials with high capacities and good rate capabilities. Our previous work has developed and verified that Cu2S wrapped by nitrogen-doped graphene (i.e., Cu2S@NG composite), as an anode in SIBs, could exhibit a superior performance with ultralong cyclability and excellent rate capability, mainly due to the multifunctional roles of NG. However, the Cu2S@NG anode still suffers from continuous parasitic reactions at low potentials, causing a rapid performance deterioration. In this study, we investigated the effects of a conformal Al2O3 coating via atomic layer deposition (ALD) on the interfacial stability of the Cu2S@NG anode. As a consequence, the ALD-coated Cu2S@NG electrode can deliver a high capacity of 374 mAh g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 and achieve a capacity retention of ~100% at different rates. This work verified that surface modification via ALD is a viable route for improving SIBs’ performances.

High-energy ball milling (HEBM) is used to synthesize zinc telluride (ZnTe) and amorphous C (ZnTe-C) nanocomposites as novel anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). A nanostruc-tured ZnTe-C composite is prepared using Zn, Te, and acetylene black as precursor materials via a facile two-step HEBM process. The initial HEBM of Zn and Te induces the formation of the ZnTe alloy nanostructure via a mechanochemical reaction. The subsequent HEBM process generates the ZnTe composite embedded in amorphous C (ZnTe-C), as confirmed using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and element mapping analyses. When used as SIB anode, the ZnTe-C composite exhibits good cyclic life (specific discharge capacities of 383 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 over 150 cycles and 373 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 after 500 cycles) and excellent rate capability (89% capacity retention at 10 A g−1 relative to that at 0.1 A g−1). The impedance analysis and ex situ scanning electron microscopy results reveal that the properties of ZnTe-C are superior to those of ZnTe because C serves as buffering matrix that suppresses the volume changes in ZnTe during alloying/dealloying and reduces the charge transfer resistance. The ZnTe-C nanocomposite in this study is a promising candidate for high-performance SIB anodes.
