Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to commercial lithium-ion batteries because of the similar properties of Li and Na as well as the abundance and accessibility of sodium resources. The development of anode materials with a high capacity, excellent rate performance, and long cycle life is the key to the industrialization of SIBs. Biomass-derived carbon (BDC) anode materials synthesized from resource-rich, low-cost, and renewable biomass have been extensively researched and their excellent sodium storage performance has been proven, making them the most promising new low-cost and high-performance anode material for SIBs. This review first introduces the sources of BDCs, including waste biomass such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, and then describes several methods for preparing BDC anode materials, including carbonization, chemical activation, and template methods. The storage mechanism and kinetic process of Na + in BDCs are then considered as well as their structure control. The electrochemical properties of sodium-ion storage in BDCs with different structures are examined, and suggestions for future research are made.
