Bio-based hard carbon materials for sodium-ion batteries

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have the greatest potential to become the future preferred technology, especially for stationary applications and light electric vehicles. Hard carbon is the preferred anode material for SIBs and an important factor that can ensure the sustainability of SIBs if it is bio-based. The presentation will give an overview of the key properties and current developments of bio-based hard carbon at Schunk.
