The invention relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, in particular to a
sodium-rich hard carbon material, a preparation method thereof and a
sodium ion battery. The preparation method of the
sodium-rich hard carbon material comprises the steps that 1, organic
sodium salt and
rice hulls subjected to alkali washing treatment are subjected to first smashing according to the
mass ratio of 1: (0.5-3), a mixture is obtained, the organic
sodium salt is selected from one or more of trisodium isocitrate, sodium
methyl acetoacetate, sodium linoleate,
sodium fumarate, sodium
benzene sulfate and sodium n-propoxide, and the organic
sodium salt is selected from one or more of trisodium isocitrate, sodium
methyl acetoacetate, sodium linoleate,
sodium fumarate, sodium
benzene sulfate and sodium n-propoxide; (2) carrying out
carbonization reaction on the mixture to obtain a hard carbon precursor; and (3) carrying out
sintering treatment, secondary crushing and sieving treatment on the hard carbon precursor to obtain the sodium-rich hard carbon material. The sodium-rich hard carbon material prepared by the method has the advantages of high initial coulombic efficiency, high
gram volume and the like, and can greatly improve the electrochemical performance and cycle performance of the
sodium ion battery when being used in the
sodium ion battery.
