Scotch Pine Cones-Derived Hard Carbon as an Anode Material for Sodium-Ion Battery Applications

) facilitated the diffusion of sodium ions, leading to a high capacity retention of 80% after 250 cycles for the SPC-N material over the undoped one, SPC (71%). This study highlights the potential of low-cost, widely available biobased Scotch pine cones as an alternative anode material to enhance the sustainability of SIB production.
