Abstract
Hard carbons derived from pitch are considered a competitive low-cost anode for sodium-ion batteries. However, the preparation of pitch-based hard carbon (PHC) requires the aid of a pre-oxidation strategy, which introduces unnecessary defects and oxygen elements, which leads to low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and poor cycling stability. Herein, we demonstrate a new surface engineering strategy by grafting chemically active glucose molecules on the PHC surface via esterification reactions, which can achieve low-cost nano-scaled carbon coating. Thin glucose coating can be carbonized at a lower temperature, which results in a more closed pore structure and fewer functional groups. The as prepared PHC exhibits a high reversible capacity of 328.5 mAh/g with a high ICE of 92.08 % at 0.02 A/g. It is noteworthy that the PHC can be adapted to a variety of cathode materials for full-cell assembling without pre-sodiation, which maintains the characteristics of high capacity and excellent cycling stability. The performance of resin-based hard carbon coated with a similar method was also improved, demonstrating the universality of the technique.

Abstract
Tin dioxide (SnO2) with a high theoretical capacity of 1494 mA h g-1 has great potential to break through the capacity limitation of the conventional graphite anode (372 mA h g-1) in lithium-ion batteries. However, its practical application still faces several obstacles such as high volumetric expansion and poor electrical conductivity. To solve these problems, innovative design and synthesis of SnO2-based nanocomposite structures are necessary. Herein, we demonstrate an integrated design of a hierarchical pitaya-like P-SnO2/C@NC core-shell nanostructure which includes the core of SnO2 nanoparticles (∼4-12 nm) uniformly embedded in the porous carbon sphere and the shell of a continuous nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) layer. Specifically, during repetitive lithiation and delithiation processes, the ultrasmall SnO2 nanoparticles reduce the internal stress greatly, the porous carbon matrix provides buffer space for a large volume change, and the N-doped carbon shell further guarantees the whole structure unit sufficient electrical conductivity and structural stability. Consequently, the resultant battery exhibits a reversible capacity of 936.8 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and even an average capacity of 460.0 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 3.2 A g-1. The excellent electrochemical performance of pitaya-like SnO2/C@NC proves the efficacy of this structure design and thus provides significant reference for the construction of other electrode materials in rechargeable alkali metal ion batteries.
