The invention relates to the technical field of
energy storage materials, and particularly discloses a
modified starch-based hard carbon material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the
modified starch-based hard carbon material comprises the following steps: S1, mixing
starch and a cross-linking agent according to a certain proportion, dispersing the mixture in deionized water, and then freeze-
drying to obtain precursor
powder; s2, performing low-temperature
pyrolysis on the obtained precursor
powder in an
argon environment, and pre-carbonizing at a proper temperature to obtain a pre-carbonized sample; and S3, dispersing the obtained pre-carbonized sample and a reinforcing agent in a
solvent, uniformly mixing, carbonizing at high temperature, washing with water, and
drying to obtain the
modified starch-based hard carbon material. The hard carbon material with relatively large specific surface area, active sites and proper interlayer spacing is obtained by crosslinking at low temperature and then crosslinking and carbonizing at high temperature. And when being used as a negative
electrode material, the
biomass hard carbon material is far superior to a commercial hard carbon material in specific capacity,
energy density,
discharge current and the like, and a wider prospect is provided for application of
biomass hard carbon.
