Abstract Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are an emerging technology regarded as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly for stationary energy storage. However, due to complications associated with the large size of the Na+ charge carrier, the cycling stability and rate performance of SIBs are generally inadequate …
Learn MoreLike LIBs, sodium-ion configurations are composed of anode and cathode, soaked in an electrolyte and disconnected by a separator. Moreover, their performance is similar to LIBs, but instead of Li + ions, Na + ions participate in charging and discharging processes. A positive electrode (cathode) undergoes oxidation during charging, by …
Learn MoreSodium-ion batteries (SIB) require less critical materials and lead to a significant cost reduction compared to state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries [1]. Although a large-scale commercialization of SIBs is within reach [2], the understanding of the degradation mechanisms of these batteries is still incomplete.
