Exploring competitive features of stationary sodium ion batteries for electrochemical energy storage

Abstract

Owing to the four features summarized in this review, i.e., low-cost resource, high-power performance, all-climate adaptability and full-batty recyclability, sodium ion batteries show great promise for large-scale energy storage systems used for the application of renewable energy sources and smart grids.

Dual Play of Chitin‐Derived N‐Doped Carbon Nanosheets Enabling High‐Performance Na‐SeS2 Half/Full Cells

“…Furthermore, the ever‐growing demands of energy storage and increased energy consumption in the field of electric vehicles impose high urgency on the pursuits of next generation battery system with sustainability, low‐cost and high energy density . Considering this, a battery based on multielectron redox reactions using O, S, Se, Te as the cathodes and cost‐effective sodium as the anodes may have the potential to achieve high gravimetric/volumetric energy density . Room‐temperature sodium‐sulfur battery is first reported in 2006, which possesses advantages of safety and lower maintenance cost over commercial Na−S batteries operated at around 300 °C .…”

Cotton Cloth‐Induced Flexible Hierarchical Carbon Film for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

“…For different application situations, diverse types of flexible energy storage systems are needed, such as solar cells, metal‐ion batteries, supercapacitors, etc. Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as one of the most promising grid‐scale energy storage technology by virtue of natural abundance of sodium, the similar mechanism with lithium‐ion batteries and especially high safety . Therefore, high‐performance flexible SIBs are perspective choices for future flexible electronics.…”

Natural Compounds Gallic Acid Derivatives for Long‐Life Li/Na Organic Batteries

“…Nowadays, Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) have become main stream energy storage devices in practical applications but remain under the restriction of the high cost and limited Li resource . Owing to the abundance of Na on earth and similar structures of atomic shells, Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as potential alternatives to LIBs . In general, the different cation radius between Li (0.76 Å) and Na (1.02 Å) restricts the applications of electrode materials in both two kinds of batteries simultaneously.…”

“…[5] Owing to the abundance of Na on earth and similar structures of atomic shells, Na-ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as potential alternatives to LIBs. [6][7][8] In general, the different cation radius between Li (0.76 Å) and Na (1.02 Å) restricts the applications of electrode materials in both two kinds of batteries simultaneously. Thus, the exploration of suitable materials with durable Li + /Na + storage capacities is extremely desirable.…”

“…The carboxylic lithium and sodium salt groups are normally introduced to organic compounds to overcome their dissolutions in the electrolyte and promote the high-rate capability and cycle life. Chen's group reported that Li 4 C 8 H 2 O 6 and Na 4 C 8 H 2 O 6 exhibited the discharge capacity of 223 mAh g À 1 at 24.1 mA g À 1 for LIBs and 183 mAh g À 1 at 19 mA g À 1 for SIB, respectively. [30,31] The capacity retention was maintained for 95 % for LIBs after 50 cycles at 24.1 mA g À 1 and 84 % for SIBs after 100 cycles at 19 mA g À 1 .…”
