Hard carbon anodes are promising for sodium-ion batteries due to their low cost and high reversible capacity. However, the long-term Na+ (de)intercalating process destroys structure of two-phase interface between electrode electrolyte, impairing cycling stability. In this paper, a few-layer graphene (FLG)-coated hard fiber composite is constructed. A uniform encapsulation confirmed by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering transmission electron microscopy technologies. Post-cycling observation reveals FLG participation in forming hybrid solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). At proper concentration, with small specific surface area pore size characteristics well matched SEI. The FLG-integrated SEI not only mitigates volume expansion but also enhances ion conductivity through its oxygen-rich functional groups. As result, maintains 98.2% capacity retention after 100 cycles reaches 164 mAh g−1 at 1000 mA g−1, compared 97 pristine carbon. This work demonstrates that coating simultaneously stabilizes interfacial chemistry improves transport, offering practical pathway advance high-performance batteries.
