Hard carbons, as one of the most commercializable anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), have to deal with trade-off between rate capability and specific capacity or initial Columbic efficiency (ICE), fast performance decline at low temperature (LT) remains poorly understood.

Polymer-in-ceramic composite solid electrolytes (PIC–CSEs) provide important advantages over individual organic or inorganic electrolytes. In conventional PIC–CSEs, the ion conduction pathway is primarily confined to ceramics, while faster routes associated with ceramic–polymer interface remain blocked. This challenge two key factors: (i) difficulty in establishing extensive and uninterrupted interfaces due ceramic aggregation; (ii) are unresponsive conducting ions because of their inherent...
