[217] This hybrid cathode delivered discharge capacities of 98.3 mAh g −1 for the entire electrode. Similarly, needle-like NMCP particles with a diameter of ≈15 nm were anchored onto rGO sheets through a ball milling-assisted hydrothermal synthesis.…”

Recently, room-temperature stationary sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received extensive investigations for large-scale energy storage systems (EESs) and smart grids due to the huge natural abundance and low cost of sodium. The SIBs share a similar "rocking-chair" sodium storage mechanism with lithium-ion batteries; thus, selecting appropriate electrodes with a low cost, satisfactory electrochemical performance, and high reliability is the key point for the development for SIBs. On the other hand, the carefully chosen elements in the electrodes also largely determine the cost of SIBs. Therefore, earth-abundantmetal-based compounds are ideal candidates for reducing the cost of electrodes. Among all the high-abundance and low-cost metal elements, cathodes containing iron and/or manganese are the most representative ones that have attracted numerous studies up till now. Herein, recent advances on both ironand manganese-based cathodes of various types, such as polyanionic, layered oxide, MXene, and spinel, are highlighted. The structure-function property for the iron-and manganese-based compounds is summarized and analyzed in detail. With the participation of iron and manganese in sodium-based cathode materials, real applications of room-temperature SIBs in large-scale EESs will be greatly promoted and accelerated in the near future.

“…[202] However, Na 3 MnPO 4 CO 3 suffers from a low electronic conductivity, which was tried to improve by i) increasing the carbon content, ii) decreasing the particle size and avoiding structural defects, and iii) stabilizing a hybrid Na 3 MnPO 4 CO 3 /reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite. [203][204][205] Fe-based Na 3 MPO 4 CO 3 has been stabilized in form of nanoplates via hydrothermal synthesis. [206] Electrochemical tests showed a stable capacity of 96 mAh g −1 with an average potential of 2.6 V versus Na/Na + .…”

future. [1][2][3] To avoid this scenario, Na-ion batteries can play a vital role. Contrary to Li, Na has abundant natural resources with even geographic distribution. In addition to being the fifth-most abundant element in earth's crust, the Na charge carrier is also the second lightest alkali element in the periodic table. In this context, mammoth effort has been geared to build efficient Na-ion batteries. 2D layered oxides are the most important category of cathode materials, which has been proven by their dominance in commercial Li-ion batteries. Although the only difference is the intercalation ion, the electrochemical behavior and structure transformation of Na analogs are very different to that in Li-ion batteries. These are mainly caused by the larger size of Na, which can stabilize the layered structure (empirical stability criterion for ABO 2 : r B /r A <0.86 for α-NaFeO 2 type structure) and thus prevent Na from occupying tetrahedral sites and promote Na cation ordering. [31] NaMO 2 compounds can retain the layered structure for all 3d transition elements M, whereas Co and Ni are the exclusive 3d transition metals that can offer ground state stability of layered structure of LiMO 2 . Thereby, intensive survey for a variety of NaMO 2 compounds was performed. [4][5][6]32] However, even with the inherently stable structural nature of NaMO 2 compounds, they usually suffer from a slopy voltage profile distributed over a wide potential range at lower average voltage (at least 0.3 V and in many cases over 0.5 V) as compared to the Li analog, identifying only a few complicated compounds that can generate >3.5 V versus Na/Na + .Development of high voltage cathode materials is of paramount importance for Na batteries, bearing in mind the relative difference in anode potential of Li/Li + : −3.03 V and Na/ Na + : −2.71 V versus NHE. With an essential lack of high-voltage layered cathode material, polyanion compounds form a major stream toward the stable cathode materials operating over 3.5 V in Na batteries. Light and small polyanion units such as (SO 4 ) 2− , (PO 4 ) 3− , (BO 3 ) 3− , (SiO 4 ) 4− , which have also been widely explored as major components in Li-ion battery cathodes, offer two major functions; i) raising the redox potential largely as compared to the simple oxides with identical redox couple, and ii) providing inherent safety to the battery system. These two very important features led olivine LiFePO 4 to a great commercial success in the Li battery market over a decade ago, [35,37,38,63] proving that additional atoms X (X = P in this case), other than Efficient energy storage is a driving factor propelling myriads of mobile electronics, electric vehicles and stationary electric grid storage. Li-ion batteries have realized these goals in a commercially viable manner with ever increasing penetration to different technology sectors across the globe. While these electronic devices are more evident and appealing to consumers, there has been a growing concern for micro-to-mega grid storage systems. Ove...

“…9 Those elements are used to prepare the Na 3 MnCO 3 PO 4 , the most studied sodium-carbonate-phosphate. 3,[10][11][12][13] This compound is often denominated as sidorenkite, the mineral form of the Na 3 MnCO 3 PO 4 . When applied to Na-batteries, this material shows a high theoretical specific capacity of 191 mA h g -1 that comes from the two involved redox pairs during charge and discharge cycles, Mn 2+ /Mn 3+ and Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ .…”

Although largely used in mobiles and electric vehicles applications, insertion batteries based on Li-ion technology are high-cost devices. These applications require high-performance energy storage systems with high-energy and high-power densities, which are better attained by Li-ion technology. However, stationary applications such as power plants and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) mainly require low-cost energy storage devices. In this scenario Na-ion insertion batteries feature as a cheaper option for such applications. Among the several compounds for use as cathode in Na-batteries, a largely studied class of compounds are the sodium-carbonate-phosphates, Na 3 MCO 3 PO 4 (M = Mn, Fe, Co or Ni), with structure analogue to the mineral sidorenkite. In this work, it was developed a new microwave-assisted hydrothermal method as an ultra-fast way to prepare sodium-carbonate-phosphate compounds. This methodology results in high-quality materials with general formula Na 3 MCO 3 PO 4 (M = Mn, Fe, Co or Ni) upon only 5 min processing time. Characterization techniques indicate highly ordered materials with sidorenkite-like phase and different morphologies or crystal habits, including plates, rods, and a 'starfruit' shape. As a proof-of-application the Mn-based material was evaluated from electrochemical tests for Na + insertion reactions. The obtained results evidence initial discharge capacity of 107 mA h g-1 with good reversible capacity (65 mA h g-1) after several charge/discharge cycles.
