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.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been regarded as one of the most competitive alternatives for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundance of sodium and comparable electrochemical characteristics of sodium to that of lithium. However, while highly desired, developing stable anode materials remains a critical challenge. In this work, the development of a stable anode for SIBs is reported, a poriferous nanoflake-assembled flower-like nickel tetraphosphide (PNAF-NP) with high surface area and typical mesoporous property. Due to the unique structure, the PANF-NP anode exhibits excellent reversible capacity of 648.34 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 98.67%, and superior cycling stability at 0.2 A g-1 with high retention capacity of 456.34 mAh g-1 and average Coulombic efficiency of 99.19% after 300 cycles. Moreover, the high reversible capacity of 614.43, 589.49, 512.66, and 432.23 mAh g-1 is achieved at 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 A g-1, respectively, indicating the superior rate capability of the PNAF-NP anode. This work represents a great advancement in the field of SIBs by reporting a high-performance anode material.

As a kind of common bio-waste, willow catkin is of no economic value. But it is surprising that it can be an ideal carbonaceous source and bio-template for electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Herein, we demonstrate that microtubular hard carbon can be derived from willow catkins and used as an anode of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The sample obtained from carbonization at 1000 °C delivers a high reversible capacity of 210 mAh g−1, good rate capability, and excellent cycling stability (112 mAh g−1 at 1000 mA g−1 after 1600 cycles) due to its unique tubular structure and the N-doping characteristic. The present work affords a new candidate for the production of hard carbon materials with tubular microstructure using natural biomass, and develops a highly promising anode material for SIBs.
