The current strong interest in electromotive mobility and the need to transition to an energy grid with sustainable storage devices has led to a renewed interest in sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Hard carbons (HCs) are promising candidates for high-capacity negative electrode materials in SIBs. Their high capacities, however, are often accompanied with high irreversible capacity losses during the initial cycles,[1] while low initial losses are accompanied with moderate capacities.[2] In the DialySorb project, which is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education, we are aiming at a local separation of reversible sodium storage and irreversible losses in novel synthetic carbon anodes, using a core-shell concept.
Advanced analytical techniques are employed to identify structure-performance relation of the core-shell anodes and will be presented in the present presntation.
