“…3b), the two peaks located at 527.1 and 536.6 eV can be assigned to Sb 3d 5/2 and Sb 3d 3/2 , indicating the formation of the InSb phase. 35–37 It is also observed that two other peaks are located at 531.8 and 539.8 eV, indicating the presence of the surface oxidation state of Sb. The O 1s peak located at a binding energy of about 533.2 eV overlaps with the Sb 3d peak, also proving the presence of oxide type on the surface.…”

“…[ 142 ] Commercial intermetallic InSb alloys have demonstrated good electrochemical performance as anodes for Li‐ion batteries, [ 143 ] in terms of structural stability and electrochemical reversibility. The InSb alloy has also been tested in Na‐ion batteries with 1 m NaClO 4 in EC:DMC (1:1) and 5% FEC as electrolyte, [ 144 ] while delivering 450 mAh g −1 after 50 cycles at C/5 and 310 mAh g −1 at 5C. The SEI on the InSb electrode was studied by means of XPS that revealed that the SEI is based on FEC and salt degradation products such as NaF and NaClO 3 .…”

Great research efforts have been made towards the development of new battery materials that increase cycle life, safety, and energy density, as well as power density [4,5] along with investigations focused on understanding novel battery chemistries that can become an alternative to the dominant liquid electrolyte-based Li-ion battery technology. [6][7][8][9][10] Na-ion technologies have emerged as one of the most promising for battery applications. [11][12][13][14][15] Interestingly, while the attention is on a given battery chemistry that promises one order of magnitude increase of the energy density, [16,17] or in a specific electrode material that outperforms currently available electroactive materials in terms of specific capacity or operating voltage, [18][19][20] there is a tendency to overlook the crucial role that battery interfaces play in the safety, power capability, morphology of lithium deposits, shelf-life, and cycle life of the battery. [21] The success of commercial Li-ion rechargeable batteries was possible due to the correct selection of electrolyte materials that resulted in the formation of a stable anode-electrolyte interface, [22] known as the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) as proposed by Peled. [23] This highlights how interfacial stability is crucial for battery development, becoming a bottleneck even when the ideal battery materials are chosen yet the battery interfaces prevent the optimum ionic or electronic transport, the correct adhesion among components, or the long term stability required for commercial battery operation.The nature of the SEI has led to the use of different modeling approaches [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and surface-specific experimental techniques for its characterization. Among the most widely used analytical techniques, ex situ [31] and in situ [32] Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and spectroscopy [33,34] along with refinements such as shell-isolated nanoparticles for enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), [35] electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), [36] spectroscopic ellipsometry, [37] atomic force microscopy (AFM), [38] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) [39][40][41] including the use of the Auger parameter [42] or other charge correction methods [43] for peak assignment, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), [44] X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), [45] soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS), [46][47][48] and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) [41] have been utilized to investigate the properties and formation mechanisms of the SEI. The electrode-electrolyte interfaces for solid-state batteries have also been experimentallyRechargeable Li-ion battery technology has progressed due to the development of a suitable combination of electroactive materials, binders, electrolytes, additives, and electrochemical cycling protocols that resulted in the formation of a stable electrode-electrolyte interphase. It is expected that Na-ion technology will attain a position comparable to Li-ion batte...

In this work we surprisingly find that the reaction mechanism, Li-ion diffusion kinetics, and polycrystalline sphalerite structure of the InSb anode materials remain unchanged during the charging and discharging process at both room and sub-zero temperatures. The sputtered pure InSb film anodes can stably cycle more than 800 times at 1 A/g and deliver a high capacity of 534.6 mAh/g at 30 °C. With a high current rate of 2 A/g at −40 °C, a capacity of 402.8 mAh/g can be maintained. For the ball-milled InSb/graphite composite, a capacity of 434.3 mAh/g at 1 A/g can remain very stable for more than 700 cycles at both 30 °C and −50 °C. The 2500 mAh soft pack cells, which are made entirely from the commercialization process and successfully run long-term at −30 °C, also demonstrate the potential of InSb anodes for commercial applications.
