The global Sodium Ion Battery Hard Carbon market size is predicted to grow from US$ 166 million in 2025 to US$ 580 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.1% from 2025 to 2031.
Sodium ion battery hard carbon is non-graphitized carbon, which is difficult to graphitize even when heated to 2800°C. Its structure is highly disordered and its redox potential is low.
Hard carbon is a solid form of carbon that cannot be converted to graphite by heat-treatment, even at temperatures as high as 3000°C. It is also known as char, or non-graphitizing carbon. More colloquially it can be described as charcoal. Hard carbon is produced by heating carbonaceous precursors to approximately 1000°C in the absence of oxygen. Among the precursors for hard carbon are polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), lignin and sucrose. Other precursors, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and petroleum coke, produce soft carbon, or graphitizing carbon. Soft carbon can be readily converted to graphite by heating to 3000°C.
Hard carbon is currently the mainstream anode material route for sodium batteries. The commonly used hard carbon precursors are mainly bio-based, such as moso bamboo, coconut shell, starch, walnut shell, etc. At the same time, chemical raw materials such as anthracite, pitch, and phenolic resin can also be used. Synthetic polymer precursors such as phenolic resins are also included.
