Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) show tremendous potential for large‐scale energy storage systems due to the high abundance of sodium resources and potentially low cost. Among the discovered anode materials for SIBs, metal selenides with large theoretical capacities are considered as a promising candidate. Nevertheless, metal selenide‐based anodes are trapped by poor ionic/electronic conductivity, low initial Coulombic efficiency, and drastic volume changes during the (de)sodiation process. Herein, the differences in sodium‐storage mechanisms of different metal selenides are first analyzed. Subsequently, the specific challenges and corresponding modification strategies (such as nanostructure design, carbon modification, potential window regulation, electrolyte optimization, and constructing heterostructures) for metal selenides as SIB anodes are discussed in detail, and recent advances are also presented. Finally, the potential research directions of metal selenides in SIBs are comprehensively reviewed. It is believed that this review can provide constructive comments on the optimization and large‐scale application of high‐performance metal selenide‐based anode for SIBs.
The surface modification of Bi2MoO6 by decorated nanosize α-Bi2O3 was realized via an alkali etching process and an enhanced photocatalytic performance on photodagradation of RhB was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
