“…After a couple of cycles, the CVs were stable and rectangular shaped in the higher potential region. This indicates a capacitive storage behaviour attributed to electro-adsorption/desorption of sodium-ions in RGOs [17,48]. Also, the overlapping of the CV curves in the subsequent cycles is indicative of good battery stability and reversible sodium-ion interaction.…”

“…The use of such graphene nanosheets as electrode materials for NIBs, although not as prevalent in the literature as for LIBs, have started to emerge recently [14][15][16][17][18][19]. It has been demonstrated that thermally reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with a d-spacing of 3.7 Å displayed a specific capacity of 174 mA h g -1 at a current density of 40 mA g -1 [15].…”

Sodium ion storage in reduced graphene oxide, Electrochimica Acta http://dx.doi.org/10. 1016/j.electacta.2016.08.058 This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. 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.

“…[102] Nitrogen doping of MWCNT decreased the first cycle Coulombic efficiency due to irreversible binding of lithium to pyridinic nitrogen atoms but improved the electrochemical storage kinetics. [105] MWCNTs exhibit poorer cycling stability, along with less than half the sodium insertion capacity of SWCNTs, due to the less ordered internal environment, resulting in 30 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles. [104] In comparison, CNTs have shown less relative success for sodium ion storage.…”

electrolyte, but were limited by significant safety concerns, such as thermal runaway, arising from the lithium metal anode and its tendency for dendrite formation. These dendrites develop and grow due to uneven lithium deposition caused by irregularities in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) passivation layer, which forms via electrolyte decomposition on the highly reactive lithium anode surface. Eventually, repeated cycling can result in an internal short circuit via puncturing of the separator by dendrites for cell failure and possible thermal runaway. Extensive research was conducted to mitigate these concerns, primarily by electrolyte manipulation to improve SEI uniformity or implementation of a polymer based solid-state electrolyte. However, this issue has still not been fully overcome even to this day, resulting in the alternative strategy of replacing the lithium anode with an intercalation-based storage material.The development of these "rocking chair" batteries began in the 1980s, where charging transfers lithium from cathode to anode and discharging reverses this process, with the first practical demonstrations by Scrosati. [2] Substantial progress came with the discoveries of the standard electrode materials: LiCoO 2 cathode by Goodenough and co-workers in 1981, [3] and graphite anode by Yazami and Touzain in 1983. [4] The first cell comprising a carbon anode and LiCoO 2 cathode was tested by Yoshino in 1983, which exhibited superior safety features as compared to lithium metal anode. [5] Optimization of the electrolyte came from replacing propylene carbonate (PC), which underwent a decomposition reaction with graphite due to cointercalation and exfoliation, to ethylene carbonate (EC)/ diethyl carbonate (DEC) mixtures. A schematic of this mature LIB is shown in Figure 1a. Sony commercialized the lithiumion battery (LIB) in 1991, where the new electrochemistry demonstrated advantages of higher energy density, longer life time, and no memory effect, as compared to the conventional nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride secondary cells. Further progress and improvement in electrolyte, electrode microstructure, and cell manufacturing has led to a doubling of energy density for LIBs since their inception, almost 30 years later, despite their analogous operation mechanism. [6] Additionally, from their initial application for handheld electronics, LIBs are now seeing rapid utilization in vehicle electrification, with the global LIB capacity projected to double to 278 GWh per year Since their commercialization by Sony in 1991, graphite anodes in combination with various cathodes have enabled the widespread success of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), providing over 10 billion rechargeable batteries to the global population. Next-generation nonaqueous alkali metal-ion batteries, namely sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), are projected to utilize intercalation-based carbon anodes as well, due to their favorable electrochemical properties. While traditionally graphite anodes have d...
