Abstract

Na3.5Fe2.5(PO4)1.5P2O7‖hard carbon (NFPP‖HC) sodium-ion batteries, owing to their low cost, stability, and safety, show great promise for large-scale energy storage applications. However, most existing research has primarily focused on material optimization, often limited to half-cell systems, which restricts the applicability of the findings to full-cell configurations. This study, from the perspective of practical application in sodium-ion batteries, systematically evaluates the performance of large-capacity pouch cells using different commercial HC, with particular attention to the potential risks associated with using high-voltage platform HC in full-cell configurations. Comprehensive failure analysis reveals that HC with higher platform capacities typically exhibit poorer sodium-ion storage kinetics due to compression of interlayer channels, leading to fluctuations in the anode potential and promoting dendrite growth. This process is accompanied by complex interfacial reactions that significantly exacerbate sodium loss. Further visual reconstruction and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that wider interlayer spacing and higher defect concentrations play key roles in the "insertion" and "filling" processes of sodium ions. The study also proposes effective approaches for improving battery performance through optimized charging strategies, electrolyte adaptation, and electrode design. These findings provide valuable theoretical insights into the optimization of HC in sodium-ion batteries and offer important guidance for future industrial applications.
