Abstract

This work deals with the development of new anode materials for sodium-ion cells. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, where graphite is commonly used, it is not suitable for sodium-ion technology. Therefore, the aim is to identify an alternative material. Anthracite appears to be a promising candidate due to its affordability and geopolitical availability compared to graphite. The experimental part of the research involves the characterization of calcined anthracite, and its processing for the preparation of negative electrodes. This is followed by electrochemical characterization of the prepared electrodes.
