Lignin and cellulose are dominant components in biomass and hold the key for preparing hard carbons. Identifying the sodium storage behaviors of sole lignin/cellulose-derived hard carbons is significant for choosing optimal biomass precursors. Herein, milled-wood lignin and microcrystalline cellulos...
