Abstract
Developing an anode with excellent rate performance, long-cycle stability, high coulombic efficiency, and high specific capacity is one of the key research directions of sodium-ion batteries. Among all the anode materials, noncrystalline carbon (NCC) has great possibilities according to its supreme performance and low cost, but with the complexity and variability of the structure. With the in-depth study of the sodium storage behaviors of NCC in recent years, three modes of interlayer intercalation, clustering into micropores, and adsorption are reported and summarized. Although the storage mechanism has gradually become more evident, the complex behavior of the ions at different voltage regions, especially in the low-voltage (plateau) region, still remains controversial. It is essential to understand further the relationship between ions and NCC structure during energy storage processes. Based on the summary of previous works, this article has reviewed the storage mechanism of sodium ions in NCC and evaluated the structure-behavior relationship between sodium-ion storage and the carbon structure.
