We have successfully synthesized Na2 FePO4 F/biocarbon nanocomposite hollow microspheres from FeIII precursor as cathodes for sodium-ion batteries through self-assembly of yeast cell biotemplate and sol-gel technology. The carbon coating on the nanoparticle surface with a mesoporous structure enhances electron diffusion into Na2 FePO4 F crystal particles. The improved electrochemical performance of Na2 FePO4 F/biocarbon nanocomposites is attributed to the larger electrode-electrolyte contact area and more active sites for Na+ on the surface of hollow microspheres compared with those of Na2 FePO4 F/C. The Na2 FePO4 F/biocarbon nanocomposite exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 114.3â
mAh g-1 at 0.1â
C, long-cycle stability with a capacity retention of 74.3 % after 500 cycles at 5â
C, and excellent rate capability (70.2â
mAh g-1 at 5â
C) compared with Na2 FePO4 F/C. This novel nanocomposite hollow microsphere structure is suitable for improving the property of other cathode materials for high-power batteries.
