▎ 摘  要

A maximum sodium capacity of similar to 35 mAh/g has hampered the use of crystalline carbon nanostructures for sodium ion battery anodes. We demonstrate that a diglyme solvent shell encapsulating a sodium ion acts as a "nonstick" coating to facilitate rapid ion insertion into crystalline few-layer graphene and bypass slow desolvation kinetics. This yields storage capacities above 150 mAh/g, cycling performance with negligible capacity fade over 8000 cycles, and similar to 100 mAh/g capacities maintained at currents of 30 A/g (similar to 12 s charge). Raman spectroscopy elucidates the ordered, but nondestructive cointercalation mechanism that differs from desolvated ion intercalation processes. In situ Raman measurements identify the Na+ staging sequence and isolates Fermi energies for the first and second stage ternary intercalation compounds at similar to 0.8 eV and similar to 1.2 eV.
