Abstract

Electrochemical performance of hard carbon prepared from sugar pyrolysis was investigated against sodium anodes. Specific surface area and graphitization degree are determinant for achieving the highest reversible capacity ever reported (more than 300mAh/g at C/10 after 120cycles) with excellent rate capability. Such results were obtained using additive free EC:PC based electrolyte which appears to induce the formation of a more conducting solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) than that produced in the presence of 2% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC).
