This paper systematically explores the key issue in the field of sodium-ion battery research – the co-intercalation mechanism, which primarily involves the intricate interactions among solvent molecules, sodium ions, and electrode materials, profoundly impacting battery performance and efficiency.
1. What is the primary mechanism by which sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries operate? Answer: Sodium-ion batteries operate through the movement of sodium ions (Na⁺) between the positive and negative electrodes.
The operation of sodium-ion batteries is critically dependent contextual performance of solid and gel electrolytes as they affect ion transport pathways, battery stability, and battery performance. Knowledge of ion transport mechanisms in these electrolytes can be used to optimize battery performance, which gauges the efficacy of such SIBs.
Aqueous sodium-ion batteries show promise for large-scale energy storage, yet face challenges due to water decomposition, limiting their energy density and lifespan. Here, the authors report a cathode surface coating strategy in an alkaline electrolyte to enhance the stability of both electrolyte and battery.
Because of abundant sodium resources and compatibility with commercial industrial systems 4, aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) are practically promising for affordable, sustainable and safe large-scale energy storage.
However, sodium-ion batteries have many unique characteristics that differentiate them from lithium-ion batteries, making some research conclusions on lithium-ion electrolytes inapplicable to sodium-ion systems. Therefore, fundamental research on sodium-ion electrolytes needs to be further advanced.
