Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Taking advantage of sodium polyacrylate, composed of interlaced carbon chains and inorganic functional groups (-COONa) uniformly grafted onto the carbon chains, a three-dimensional hard carbon matrix (3DHCM) has been obtained. The resultant material is composed of three-dimensional macroporous interconnected networks of carbon nanosheets (thickness, 5-30 nm). The 3DHCM has been studied as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The unique three-dimensional porous structure results in a high initial charge capacity of 341 mA h g, stable cycling capacity of 232.8 mA h g (after 100 cycles, 50 mA g), superior-rate performance (stable capacities of 210, 197, 128 and 112 mA h g at 200, 500, 5000, 8000 mA g, respectively) and ultralong cycle life (116 mA h g at 4 A g after 3000 cycles). At the same time, an increase in the trend of the sloping capacity percentage at total discharge is observed. More obvious "graphitic" domains with larger interplanar spacing (∼0.46 nm) were produced in the electrochemical cycles and detected using ex situ HRTEM, further confirming that the first higher-voltage region (above 0.1 V) should be attributed to the sodium insertion between the parallel graphene layers in the hard carbon. We also find that the electrolyte (1 M NaClO in PC) severely decomposes at the electrode/electrolyte interface during deep electrochemical cycles (6000 cycles), resulting in the deterioration of the electrode and fast capacity fading. Furthermore, a roomerature sodium-ion full cell was constructed using 3DHCM as an anode and NaV(PO)/C as a cathode, (-) 3DHCM1 M NaClO in PCNaV(PO)/C (+), delivering a discharge capacity of 90 mA h g at a current density of 500 mA g. We believe that our findings will be helpful in speeding up the development of roomerature high-rate, long life and low cost sodium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage systems, and even as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.
