However, the sluggish faradaic kinetics of anode materials severely limit the overall electrochemical performance of SIHC devices. Herein, we report an application of nanotube-like hard carbon（NTHC）anode material prepared by high-temperature carbonization（1150℃） of polyaniline（PANI） nanotubes for high-performance SIHCs. As a result, the assembled sodium ion half-cell with NTHC shows a high reversible capacity of 419.5 mA h g^-1at 0.05 A g^-1and a good rate performance of 74.6 mA h g^-1 at 2.5 A g^-1 in a potential window of 0-2 V（vs. Na/Na^＋）. On this basic, a SIHC using such NTHC as anode and a high-capacity activated carbon（APDC） as cathode is fabricated, which exhibits a high energy density of 133.0 W h kg^-1 at 2850 W kg^-1and still remains 100.9 W h kg^-1 at 14,250 W kg^-1. Within the potential range of 1.5-3.5 V, the SIHCs display an outstanding cycling stability tested at 2 A g^-1 with a good capacity retention of 82.5% even after 12,000 cycles.展开更多
