Article Abstract
In recent years, energy storage has significantly transitioned from lithium to sodium ion due to sodium's abundance and economical and optimal redox potential. Biomass-based carbon anode materials are extensively studied in sodium-ion batteries because of their economic advantages and eco-sustainable approach. Their distinctive microstructural characteristics resulting in higher specific capacitance. The present review explores hard carbon and a few emerging sustainable materials derived from various biomass sources. It also covers their production, focusing on micro-structures, morphological defects, and heteroatom doping-related aspects. However, the sodium storage mechanism within carbon anodes, particularly hard carbon, is a subject of debate due to its diverse microstructural states in contrast to the specific layered structure of graphite. It also integrates strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities with threat evaluation by highlighting detailed insights about recent developments in hard carbon. This review also highlights bibliographic analysis through network visualization map of international research collaboration in the field of biomass based anode material for sodium ion battery. It also offers a cohesive framework for advancing biomass-derived hard carbon and other carbon materials as an independent or complementary anode material for next-generation sodium-ion batteries.

Hard carbon has emerged as the most widely studied and commercialized anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, improving the charge transfer kinetics within the plateau potential range of the hard carbon anode is crucial for the development of fast-charging SIBs. In this study, we prepared a novel composite material, ZAPA-1300, by uniformly mixing starch, asphalt, and zinc oxide (ZnO), followed by a two-step treatment process.

Hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its low cost, abundant renewable resources, and high specific capacity. However, its practical application is significantly hindered by the severe initial irreversible capacity loss resulting from sodium consumption during the first cycle. To address this issue, a variety of presodiation strategies have been developed to compensate for the sodium loss and improve the initial coulombic efficiency.

Multifunctional materials that simultaneously possess intrinsic magnetic and superhard properties, particularly those composed of light elements, have a wide range of applications in advanced sensors, shielding, durable devices, and other fields. However, research on the development and understanding of such materials remains limited. In this study, a series of 3D C covalent networks derived from the C fullerene precursor were theoretically designed.

Ether-based electrolytes are widely acknowledged for their potential to form stable solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) for stable anode performance. However, conventional ether-based electrolytes have shown a tendency for cation-solvent co-intercalation phenomena on graphite electrodes, resulting in lower capacity and higher voltage platforms compared to those of neat cation insertion in ester-based electrolytes. In response, we propose the development of weakly solvating ether solvents to weaken the interaction between cations and solvents, thereby suppressing co-intercalation behavior.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have emerged as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost, simple preparation, and high theoretical specific capacity. The integration of high-entropy concepts with framework-structured PBAs has pioneered a new pathway for performance optimization in SIBs cathodes. However, most scholars have only studied the five elements constituting high entropy as a whole, while challenges such as the role of each element and optimization of the proportions among constituent elements remain unresolved.
