Abstract Polylactic acid (PLA) is a widely used biomass-derived polymer material. A significant amount of discarded polylactic acid is generated every year in the disposable product sector. Herein, a discarded PLA-based hard carbon was synthesized with discarded PLA as precursor, through cross-linking reaction with phosphoric acid and then followed by high-temperature carbonization. The results indicate that excessively lower carbonization temperature will result in unstable pore structure with lower stability. Higher carbonization temperature leads to loss innon-carbon elements and decrease in reversible specific capacity. The introduction of phosphorus (P) increases the spacing between the hard carbon lamellae to 0.37 nm. At carbonization temperature of 700oC, the prepared discarded PLA-based hard carbon presents a honeycomb-like spherical framework with smaller specific surface area, and richer in high content of heteroatoms P and O, therefore exhibits the best electrochemical performance. By testing the assembled lithium-ion battery with electrode made of the acquired hard carbon, results show that by a current density of 100 mA/g, the specific capacity can reach 552 mAh/g; while for an initial Coulomb efficiency of 58.7% (324 mAh/g), the cycle stability is still excellent after 100 cycles. Besides, after multiple cycles at varying current densities, a reversible discharge capacity of 408 mAh/g is still maintained.
