abstract = {Waste hemp hurd (WHH) was used as a sustainable feedstock for producing hard carbon-based anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Two easily scalable production pathways were tested and compared: (1) pyrolysis (at 500 °C) and subsequent annealing at 800, 1000 or 1200 °C, and (2) hydrothermal pretreatment (at 180 °C) and subsequent annealing at the above-mentioned highest temperatures. Results indicated that when a HCl (2 mol m−3) aqueous solution was used as hydrothermal medium, the textural, structural and surface chemistry features linked to the electrochemical performance of the resulting hard carbons improved. The WHH-derived electrode produced via HCl-mediated hydrothermal pretreatment and subsequent annealing at 1000 °C showed an exceptional electrochemical performance in terms of specific capacity (535 mA h g−1 at 30 mA g−1) and rate capability (372, 156, 115, and 83 mA h g−1 at 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g−1, respectively) when an ester-based electrolyte was used (NaTFSI in EC/DMC). Using an ether-based electrolyte (NaPF6 in diglyme) improved both the ICE (from 69% to 78%) and cycling stability (85% of capacity retention after 300 cycles at 1 A g−1; 91% when current rate returned to 0.1 A g−1). In summary, relatively low-cost WHH-derived carbons are able to deliver an exceptional performance, much better than that reported so far for other biomass-derived carbons, and even close to that exhibited by more expensive and complex composite and hybrid materials.},

abstract = {Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered one of the most promising large-scale and low-cost energy storage systems due to the abundance and low price of sodium. Herein, hard carbons from a sustainable biomass feedstock (vine shoots) were synthesized via a simple two-step carbonization process at different highest temperatures to be used as anodes in SIBs. The hard carbon produced at 1200 °C delivered the highest reversible capacity (270 mAh g−1 at 0.03 A g−1, with an acceptable initial coulombic efficiency of 71 %) since a suitable balance between the pseudographitic domains growth and the retention of microporosity, defects, and functional groups was achieved. A prominent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 97 % over 315 cycles was also attained. Comprehensive characterization unraveled a three-stage sodium storage mechanism based on adsorption, intercalation, and filling of pores. A remarkable specific capacity underestimation of up to 38 % was also found when a two-electrode half-cell configuration was employed to measure the rate performance. To avoid this systematic error caused by the counter/reference electrode polarization, we strongly recommend the use of a three-electrode setup or a full-cell configuration to correctly evaluate the anode response at moderate and high current rates.},

abstract = {The present study reports the promising potential of waste hemp-hurd-derived carbons as anodes in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Carbons were produced through an easily scalable process consisting of pyrolysis of raw biomass at 500 °C followed by mild chemical activation of the resulting char through wet impregnation with K2CO3 and subsequent heating of the solid phase (after filtration and drying) up to 700 or 800 °C under nitrogen. The best electrochemical performance was observed for the hard carbon activated at a char-K2CO3 mass ratio of 1:4 and heated up to 800 °C, which exhibited an excellent initial coulombic efficiency (73%) and achieved reversible charge capacities of 267 and 79 mAh g–1 at 0.03 and 1 A g–1, respectively. This material also exhibited an impressive cyclic stability and rate capability, with a capacity retention of 96% after 300 cycles at a current density of 2 A g–1. This more than satisfactory performance could be related to the textural and structural features of the hard carbon, which include moderate interconnected microporosity (with pore sizes below 1 nm), an appropriate concentration of defects in the carbon structure, relatively large interplanar distances, and a certain number of closed pores.},
