[0002] With the rapid development of all sectors and industries in society, the demand for high-performance, low-cost electrochemical energy storage systems is growing. Sodium-ion batteries have the advantages of abundant raw materials and low cost, and have great potential in the field of energy storage. As an important component of sodium-ion batteries, the negative electrode plays a decisive role in its performance. Compared with other types of negative electrode materials, biomass hard carbon materials have an amorphous or partially crystalline structure with a certain degree of order in the short range. This structure provides more insertion sites for sodium ions and helps the diffusion of sodium ions inside the material. It has many advantages such as high sodium storage capacity, low sodium storage potential, good cycle stability and rate performance. It can meet the long cycle life and fast charging and discharging requirements of sodium-ion batteries, and is the most promising negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries.

[0003] Biomass hard carbon materials have the advantages of wide sources, low cost, and environmental friendliness, and can be prepared in a variety of ways.

This method effectively solves the problems of low specific capacity and low first coulomb efficiency when hard carbon materials are used as negative electrodes of sodium ion batteries in the prior art. Chinese patent CN118125419B discloses a preparation method of a hard carbon negative electrode material for sodium ion batteries and a sodium ion battery, comprising the following steps: washing, dehydrating, drying, and crushing of biomass materials; steam explosion of biomass fine powder; vacuum freeze drying; heat treatment and carbonization; washing and crushing and then heat treating it to obtain a hard carbon negative electrode material for sodium ion batteries. This method successfully improves the first coulomb efficiency and achieves the purpose of improving capacity and efficiency.

[0004] However, with the practical application of the above methods, some difficult-to-solve technical problems have also emerged: the yield of biomass hard carbon materials is difficult to improve; during the preparation of biomass hard carbon materials, the pore structure formed is disordered and difficult to control, resulting in unstable electrochemical performance; the main purpose of the pickling process during the preparation process is to remove the ash of the material itself.

[0031] (2) The method for preparing the biomass hard carbon material and its precursor of the present invention solves the technical problems that the yield of the biomass hard carbon material is difficult to improve, the pore structure is difficult to control, and the purity needs to be improved. The ash content of the precursor of the prepared biomass hard carbon material is 0.076-1.687%, the yield of the precursor of the biomass hard carbon material is 45.06-67.21%, and the specific surface area of ​​the prepared biomass hard carbon material is 3.17-8.92m 2 / g, the yield of biomass hard carbon materials is 18.54-26.07%;

[0032] (3) The method for preparing the biomass hard carbon material and its precursor of the present invention, wherein the button-type battery assembled from the prepared biomass hard carbon material has a charging capacity of 277.5-401.5 mAh / g and a first-cycle coulombic efficiency of 87.99-92.61%;

[0033] (4) The method for preparing the biomass hard carbon material and its precursor of the present invention can increase the obtained biomass hard carbon material and increase the interlayer spacing of the biomass hard carbon material to 0.43 nm, thereby being more conducive to the storage of sodium ions;

[0034] (5) The method for preparing the biomass hard carbon material and its precursor of the present invention uses steam to carbonize the material.
