“…18,19 Also, it is suggested that the anion plays a role in the transport of cations, either through correlated motion of cations and anions or via transport of cation-anion clusters. 10,20,21 Regarding the carbon material, the influence of several factors such as heteroelement contents, 8,22 structural differences in soft and hard carbons, 8,[23][24][25] morphological properties (nanowires, nanotubes, microbeads reduced graphene oxides or hollow carbon nanoparticles), [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] have been investigated as anodes for SIBs using standard electrolytes.

Recent improvements of sodium ion batteries have been achieved by the use of graphitic carbon as an anode and glyme-based electrolytes. In this work, expanded graphites are prepared by thermal expansion, Broddie and Hummer's modified methods. Their structural, morphological and electrochemical properties are compared with those of the original natural graphite. XRD patterns, XPS and Raman spectra corroborate the presence of graphite oxide intermediates and reveal different reduced forms of expanded graphite which can affect the sodium insertion properties. The use of sodium triflate in diglyme enhanced the electrochemical performance in terms of delivering a flat plateau at ca. 0.65 and 0.55 V in discharge/charge cycles. The thermally expanded graphite increased the capacity and efficiency from 100 to 115 mA h g −1 and from 93 to 96% over 100 cycles when cycled at C rate as compared to natural graphite. Ex-situ XRD patterns reveal the presence of new set of reflections ascribable to sodium ordering in different stages as evidenced by the calculated Patterson diagrams. The new results described here would account for development of carbon-based material and their prospects and challenges for sodium ion battery anodes. The sodium intercalation into graphite is still one of the most interesting and unusual in the solid state chemistry of intercalation compounds. Neither ionic nor hard sphere model theory explains why the liquid phase interaction of molten sodium with graphite provides only high-stage compositions.1,2 This effect contrasts with that for other alkali metals, 3 in which first-stage graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) can be easily obtained. Udod suggested that the discrepancy between the size of sodium atoms and the distances between potential minima in the graphite sheet causes the absence of low-stage Na-GICs. 4 Graphite has a long-range-ordered layered structure where Li + ion can be easily intercalated between the graphene layers by electrochemical means. The main lithium insertion reaction occurs at a flat plateau around 0.2 V, and the capacity is 372 mA h g −1 . 5,6 Unlike, the graphite anode does not intercalate sodium to any appreciable extent. The galvanostatic curves during the full sodiation/desodiation shows a monotonic voltage curves, which capacity is lower than 35 mA h g −1 . 7,8 This normally refers to the standard electrolytes that are based on organic carbonates (EC ethylene carbonate, DMC dimethylcarbonate) and lithium salts (LiPF 6 ) or sodium salts (NaPF 6 ).In the search for alternative secondary batteries that will replace lithium ion batteries (LIBs), sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have received attention due to the following reasons: (i) abundance of sodium sources (it is the 4 th most abundant element in the earth crust), (ii) the low cost of sodium compared to lithium, especially for largescale electric storage applications, and (iii) the similar chemistry of sodium and lithium.9 So far, several issues have scoffed at the optimal performance of graphite anodes at both lithi...

Among them, carbon nanomaterials are promising owing to their earth abundance, low cost, and good electric conductivity [7]. Unfortunately, the commonly used graphite anode for LIBs shows a low reversible capacity for sodium ions (35 mA h g -1 ) because of small interlayer spacing (3.4 Å) [12], which is lower than the critical interlayer distance for Na + insertion (3.7 Å) [13].…”

AbstractThe performance of few-layered metal-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a negative electrode material in sodium-ion battery was investigated. Experimental and simulation results indicated that the as-prepared RGO with a large interlayer spacing and disordered structure enabled significant sodium-ion storage, leading to a high discharge capacity. The strong surface driven interactions between sodium ions and oxygen-containing groups and/or defect sites led to a high rate performance and cycling stability. The RGO anode delivered a discharge capacity of 272 mA h g -1 at a current density of 50 mA g -1 , a good cycling stability over 300 cycles and a superior rate capability. The present work provides new insights into optimizing RGOs for high-performance and low-cost sodium-ion batteries.
