Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received remarkable attention due to their abundant sodium (Na) content and low resources cost. However, the absence of high-performance anode materials make carbon-based SIBs still a challenge. Herein, nano-diamonds (NDs) modified gleditsia japonica shell carbon to form a uniform carbon microsphere, which improves the graphitization degree and Na ion adsorption, NDs also act as a strong scaffold to maintain its stability. This spherical carbon-based material exhibits superior performances including the enhanced capacity (270 mA h g−1 at 0.2C after 100 cycles) and long-cycle stability (155 mA h g−1 at 2C after 1000 cycles) when incorporated into SIBs. This work provides a green and simple synthesis strategy for fabricating high performance porous spherical carbon used for SIBs anode.
