  • Patent number: 11670774
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are a pitch-based negative electrode material for a sodium-ion battery and related methods and applications. The method comprises: placing a pitch recursor into a muffle furnace to allow the pitch precursor to experience pre-oxidation for 2 to 6 hours at a temperature ranging from 200° C. to 350° C., to obtain pre-oxidized pitch; placing the pre-oxidized pitch into a high-temperature carbonization furnace, and increasing the temperature to 1300° C. to 1600° C. at a temperature increase speed of 0.5° C./min to 5° C./min, and carrying out thermal treatment on the pre-oxidized pitch in an inert atmosphere for 1 to 10 hours, to allow the pre-oxidized pitch to experience carbonization reactions, oxygen in the pre-oxidized pitch being used for breaking an ordered structure of the pitch during the carbonization of the pre-oxidized pitch, so as to form a wedge-shaped voids disordered structure.

  • Publication number: 20210253427
    Abstract: A carbon-based anode material with high ramp capacity, a preparation method therefore, and a use thereof. The method includes placing a carbon source precursor into a crucible and heating to 400° C-1000° C. at a heating rate of 0.2° C./min-30° C./min under an inert atmosphere, wherein the precursor includes any one or a combination of at least two of fossil fuel, biomass, resin, and organic chemicals; and carrying out heat treatment on the precursor at a temperature of 400° C. to 1000° C. for 0.5-48 hours to carbonize the precursor to obtain a carbon-based negative electrode material. The specific surface area of the anode material is less than 10 m2/g. and assembling the obtained electrode material into a sodium ion battery and then carrying out charging and discharging between 0 and 2.5 V, to obtain a voltage curve. The ramp capacity being above 180 mAh/g and the first-cycle Coulombic efficiency is above 75%.
