The Na-storage mechanism of the DF-N/S material is characterized by a diffusion-controlled insertion process and a surface-induced capacitive process . Sodium ions permeate into the interstices of the porous carbon spheres and are adsorbed onto surface defects, nanoholes, and functional groups.
The study of Hussain et al. on C 2 N- h 2D showed that despite the pyridinic nitrogen, which facilitates Li storage, the high initial Li adsorption energy would result in poor battery performance .
First-principles calculations demonstrate that high concentrations of nitrogen doping increase the interlayer spacing between carbon layers while enhancing ion adsorption capacity. This not only allows the hard carbon to accommodate more Na + but also facilitates ion migration.
This can be attributed to the shielding effect of Na + on the defects of N6 and N5 during the discharge process, thus indicating that N6 and N5 serve as important sites for sodium storage in carbon materials . 2.5. Theoretical Considerations
Based on density functional theory (DFT), it has been discovered that the doping of pyrrole nitrogen (N5) and pyridinium nitrogen (N6) can effectively expand the interlayer spacing during the Na + sodiated/de-sodiated process, thereby enhancing electrochemical activity.
SC holds substantial promise for sodium-ion battery applications, and further enhancements in energy density and cycling stability can be realized by refining the structure of carbon materials, such as adjusting the levels of nitrogen or other dopants and graphitization.
