Electrochemical techniques have been used to study the reversible insertion of sodium into hard‐carbon host structures at room temperature. In this paper we compare these results with those for lithium insertion in the same materials and demonstrate the presence of similar alkali metal insertion mechanisms in both cases. Despite the gravimetric capacities being lower for sodium than lithium insertion, we have achieved a reversible sodium capacity of 300 mAh/g, close to that for lithium insertion in graphitic carbon anode materials. Such materials may therefore be useful as anodes in rechargeable sodium‐ion batteries. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
