Closed pores formed in hard carbons play an essential role in sodium storage at plateau region. However, the effect of different structural features on the diffusion of sodium ions into closed pores remains unclear. Herein, a precursor reconstruction strategy is conducted to regulate carbon microstructures including interlayer spacing, defect concentration, and closed pore volume by changing the ratio of aromatic and polysaccharide components. Aromatic structure parts tend to develop disordered carbons with fewer defects, larger interlayer spacing, and smaller closed pore volume, while polysaccharide components prefer to form disordered carbons with more defects, smaller interlayer spacing, and larger closed pore volume. Through the correlation analysis of microstructure features and the sodium storage capacity below 0.1 V. It finds that the intercalation capacity is proportional to the ratio of pseudo-graphitic domains, whereas the pore filling capacity appeared at lower potential gradually decreases with the increasing defect concentration due to homo-ionic repulsion effect, without linear correlation with short-range microcrystalline and closed pore volume. The optimized sample with suitable interlayer spacing and defect concentration exhibits a high plateau capacity of 241.7 mAh/g. This work provides insights into the exploitation of closed pore sodium storage performance.
