“…Nevertheless, the large ionic radius of both K + and Na + , and their “heavy molecular weights” will inevitably lead to sluggish ion transportation and lower energy density compared to their counterparts in LIBs. [ 222–225 ] On the other hand, some of the previously well‐recognized electrochemical reaction mechanisms in LIBs are no longer suitable for SIBs/PIBs due to their large ionic radius, so that the specific and in‐depth explorations are strongly required. By facing these challenging demands, carefully choosing potential electrodes is critical.…”

Next‐generation sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) are considered to be promising alternatives to replace current lithium‐ion batteries due to the high abundance of sodium and potassium resources. New energetic vanadium‐based compounds that undergoes multielectron reactions and demonstrate good sodium/potassium storage capability, provide new solutions for high‐performance SIBs/PIBs in terms of high energy/power density and long‐time cyclability. So far, desirable rich redox centers (V2+‐V5+), consolidated frameworks, and the high theoretical capacities of vanadium‐based compounds have been widely explored for practical applications. Rational materials design utilizing vanadium multiredox centers and the fundamental understanding of their charge‐transfer processes and mechanisms are critical in the development of high‐performance battery systems. The scientific importance and basic design strategies for high performance V‐based anode/cathode materials, structure‐function properties and state‐of‐the‐art understanding of V‐based electrode materials are herein classified and highlighted alongside their design strategies. The important role of the valence electron layer of vanadium, and the scientific advances of vanadium partitions in other electrochemical behaviors are also summarized in detail. Finally, relevant strategies and perspectives discussed in this review provide practical guidance to explore the undiscovered potentials of multi‐electron reaction relationships of not only V‐based composites, but also other types of electrode materials.

In general, they are crystallized into a cubic structure with the space group of Fm ‐3 m , in which the cyanide ligands link the coordinated metal ions together to form an open framework that provides large ionic channels permitting rapid and reversible intercalation of Na + ions 112 . For instance, a Na 0.647 Fe[Fe(CN) 6 ] 0.930.07 ·2.6H 2 O@C composite was reported to maintain 77.5 mA h g −1 at 90C and retain 90% of its capacity over 2000 cycles at 20C 17 .…”

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted much interest for medium‐ to large‐scale energy storage applications owing to the high abundance and low cost of sodium reserves. However, a principal concern for the wide deployment of stationary SIBs is their temperature tolerance. Extreme temperatures can deteriorate the performance and safety of SIBs by causing very sluggish Na‐transfer kinetics, dendrites formation, and severe interfacial reactions. The development of all‐climate SIBs depends on the fundamental understanding of the chemical reactions at different temperatures and advances of all the key components, especially the electrolyte and the electrode materials. Herein, we start from briefing the key challenges in developing all‐climate SIBs, then examining the latest achievements in confronting the challenges. The insights presented in this review are believed to guide and inspire further research interest in designing all‐climate SIBs that will hopefully serve as a low‐cost, high‐performing, and reliable stationary energy storage solution.

“…Particular attention is on the properties of candidate room-temperature, organic-electrolyte-based SIBs, in order to answer the question: can SIBs replace LIBs? For the interested reader, several in-depth reviews have recently emerged on both SIBs [30][31][32][33] and LIBs. [34][35][36][37] The remarkable progress in SIBs is attributed to the scientific knowledge in solid-state materials, gained in developing LIBs (which has also been useful in developing SIBs).…”

versatile energy storage device, which, nowadays, powers anything from microsensors to electric vehicles. Granted, the limitation to only three recipients is a restriction of the Nobel committee, we must equally acknowledge other scientists, some of whom will be mentioned in this essay, whose key contributions led to the development of one of humanity's greatest achievements of the last century. Based on the discoveries of the aforementioned Nobel laureates, LIBs were commercialized in 1991 by SONY and immediately experienced a double-digit growth in sales. [2] It took only 6 years for the LIB market share to surpass that of incumbent battery technologies, the likes of nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. [3] This phenomenal growth was made possible by the rise in portable consumer electronic devices (e.g., cassette recorders, discmans, personal care appliances, and mobile phones). The problem was powering these devices off-grid for long periods of time. [4] The lightweight and high energy density characteristics of LIBs made them ideal for these applications. This also meant that there was no direct competition between LIBs and existing battery technologies; for example, the sales in NiCd and NiMH in Japan did not decline as a result of the exponential growth in LIB sales. [3] Evidently, a new market segment had emerged and the LIB was an idea whose time had come. Since the first commercial LIB, portable consumer electronics have drastically evolved, in form and function. Often, we cite Moore's law, an observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles, about every 2 years. [5,6] This means, computing speed has roughly doubled biennially, giving rise to "smart" devices. The battery energy density needed to run these complex devices has also increased, albeit at a slower rate. This is because of fundamental chemical limitations, and increasing the useful energy density of batteries has proved to be an enormous challenge. [7] Nevertheless, there remains room to improve other battery properties such as cost, cycling stability, safety, environmental toxicity, and cell design. [8-11] An outstanding feature of LIBs is their ability to continually find new applications. Of late, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) pioneered by Tesla Inc., BYD, and Nissan have been successfully commercialized, powered by LIBs. [12] A Tesla model S with an on-board battery pack of 100 kWh has a driving range of 600 km, certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. [13] The global fleet of electric cars and busses currently stands at 4 million, a number that is expected to reach Among the existing energy storage technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have unmatched energy density and versatility. From the time of their first commercialization in 1991, the growth in LIBs has been driven by portable devices. In recent years, however, large-scale electric vehicle and stationary applications have emerged. Because LIB raw material deposits are unevenly distributed and prone to pric...
