The design of carbon anode materials with both high gravimetric and volumetric performances is one of the main limitations in the real applications of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we develop novel micro/nanostructure carbon microspheres (CMSs) assembled of onion-like carbons via an in situ pyrolysis approach. When used as anode materials for SIBs, the CMSs electrode possesses a high pressing density of 1.36 g cm−3. The CMSs exhibit a high reversible gravimetric capacity of 275 mAh g−1and a reversible volumetric capacity of 374 mAh cm−3at 100 mA g−1, which can be comparable to the volumetric capacity of graphite for lithium-ion batteries. At high current densities of 1, 2 and 5 A g−1, the reversible gravimetric capacities can still be maintained at 195, 165 and 115 mAh g−1and the volumetric capacities can reach up to 265, 224 and 156 mAh cm−3. Such excellent electrochemical performances should be attributed to the special spherical micro/nanostructure of CMSs, which can not only guarantee a high density, but also provide void spaces to alleviate the volume variation and enhance Na ions diffusion kinetics. Accordingly, this study proposes a new strategy for the design of carbon materials with both high gravimetric and volumetric performances.
