Abstract
Waste reduction and recycling performance in global economic and ecologic spheres are beginning to take shape every year. Undoubtedly, a particular attention is being devoted to the utilization of biomass-derived products for battery fabrication. It is significant to note that a selection of relevant biomass material, possessing a high and stable capacity (~300 mAh/g) within 200 cycles is a challenging part, becoming the main objective of the research project.In this context, coffee ground derived anode material for Sodium-ion battery (SIB) preserved a semi-stable structure with intergranular and microcracks due to the successive thermal treatments. Hydrothermal conversion processes acts as a significant part of the thermal conversion from coffee ground to hard carbon due to the continuous re-condensation reactions, allowing fabricating low surface area and blocked pores. Doping hard carbon with S improved electrochemical performance by achieving higher capacity than undoped material. The sulfur doped carbonized material has a unique porous structure that increased specific surface area and provided additional active site for sodium ion adsorption. Subsequently, further investigation will be focused on enhancement of hard carbon’s pores.
