Empowering Energy Storage Technology: Recent Breakthroughs and Advancement in Sodium-Ion Batteries

“…However, short-term stability, low ionic conductivity, and poor energy density have been persistent issues with sodium-ion batteries. , Sodium ions, being larger than lithium ions, directly impact transport properties, phase stability, interphase formation, and electrode volume transition. Consequently, interlayer channels of graphite cannot efficiently intercalate Na ions, affecting rate stability . Numerous experiments have been conducted to overcome these challenges in which doping, coating, and engineering in the material are the most common methodologies adopted by researchers.…”

“…Consequently, interlayer channels of graphite cannot efficiently intercalate Na ions, affecting rate stability. 5 Numerous experiments have been conducted to overcome these challenges in which doping, coating, and engineering in the material are the most common methodologies adopted by researchers. Finding a suitable anode for SIBs is a challenging issue which is addressed by enhancing, various anode materials, such as hard carbon, metal oxides, metal alloys, and PBA-type anodes by the above-mentioned methodologies, for the promising anode of sodium-ion batteries.…”
