“…Meanwhile, it was considered that the single-atomic layered nucleation model might be closer to reality. The first electrodeposition of a nucleus with single-atomic thickness on the substrate makes its edge sites available for the subsequent add-atoms during the nucleation. , Indeed, many efforts have been made to understand the growth behaviors of Na + ions. It is worth mentioning that the plating/stripping process tends to occur at the surface bumps of sodium-metal anodes.…”

The shortage of resources such as lithium and cobalt has promoted the development of novel battery systems with low cost, abundance, high performance, and efficient environmental adaptability. Due to the abundance and low cost of sodium, sodium-ion battery chemistry has drawn worldwide attention in energy storage systems. It is widely considered that wide-temperature tolerance sodium-ion batteries (WT-SIBs) can be rapidly developed due to their unique electrochemical and chemical properties. However, WT-SIBs, especially for their electrode materials and electrolyte systems, still face various challenges in harsh-temperature conditions. In this review, we focus on the achievements, failure mechanisms, fundamental chemistry, and scientific challenges of WT-SIBs. The insights of their design principles, current research, and safety issues are presented. Moreover, the possible future research directions on the battery materials for WT-SIBs are deeply discussed. Progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the emerging chemistry for WT-SIBs comprehensively discussed in this review will accelerate the practical applications of wide-temperature tolerance rechargeable batteries.

“…In the past, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the preferred energy storage devices for portable devices and electric vehicles because of their high energy density. , Nevertheless, due to the insufficient and uneven geographical distribution of lithium resources, the cost of lithium continues to rise. − Fortunately, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with similar energy storage mechanisms have lower costs, which fills in for large-scale energy storage systems. ,, However, the lithium storage capacity of commercial graphite anode electrodes is only 372 mA h g –1 , which hinders the practical application of LIBs in electric vehicles. − Meanwhile, because the larger Na + radius increases the diffusion energy barrier, it is urgent to explore anode materials suitable for SIBs. ,, Alloy- or conversion-type anode materials are of great interest because of their high theoretical capacity. , Among them, tin-based materials have attracted much attention due to their low cost, high element abundance, and nontoxicity. The theoretical storage capacities of tin for lithium and sodium are 992 and 847 mA h g –1 , respectively. , However, the alloying/dealloying process is accompanied by severe volume expansion, which leads to particle rupture and repeated formation/decomposition of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, thereby affecting electrochemical performance. , To solve these problems, several strategies for designing nanoscale materials (such as SNS nanosheets, SnO 2 nanoparticles, and SnO 2 quantum dots) and constructing composites (such as polypyrrole/SnS/polypyrrole ultrathin nanosheets and graphene-tin oxide composites , ) have been explored in depth.…”

Based on the conversion/alloying reaction mechanism, SnP 2 O 7 is a potential high-capacity lithium-and sodium-ion storage material. However, the inherent poor conductivity suppresses its rate capability. Herein, the SnP 2 O 7 /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite is synthesized by a liquid nitrogen rapid freezing method and subsequent annealing. The loose and wrinkled multilayered architecture is constructed by SnP 2 O 7 sheets attached to rGO. During the lithiation/delithiation process, rGO enhances the redox reactivity between SnP 2 O 7 and Sn, electron transport kinetics, and lithium-ion diffusion rate, so the SnP 2 O 7 /rGO exhibits superior rate capability with capacities of 532.3, 496.4, and 458.3 mA h g −1 at 0.5, 1, and 2 A g −1 , respectively. The lithium storage mechanism of SnP 2 O 7 is related to the conversion reaction and alloying reaction at the voltage range of 0.01−3 V, as evidenced by cyclic voltammetry curves and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the SnP 2 O 7 /rGO anode for sodium storage also demonstrates superior reversibility and cyclability, indicating that the multilayered architecture helps maintain SnP 2 O 7 attached to rGO upon cycling. Furthermore, kinetic analysis reveals that the multilayered structure promotes the pseudocapacitive behavior of the SnP 2 O 7 -based anodes. This strategy delivers significant capability advantages, providing inspiration for the development of highperformance SnP 2 O 7 -based anodes.

“…There have been papers summarizing the basics, [2c] 3D skeleton structure, [9] artificial interface, [10] temperature effect, [11] utilization, [12] and the integration with solid electrolytes [13] of Na metal anodes. However, these papers are focused on those tested under normal current densities; and the scenario can be quite different under high-rate conditions, as the Na metal anode degrades far more quickly, [14] due to, for example, the significantly accelerated growth of Na dendrites.…”

Due to the low‐cost and high energy density, sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have attracted growing interests, with great potential to power future electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile electronics, which require the rapid charge/discharge capability. However, the development of high‐rate SMBs has been impeded by the sluggish Na+ ion kinetics, particularly at the sodium metal anode (SMA). The high‐rate operation severely threatens the SMA stability, due to the unstable solid‐electrolyte interface (SEI), the Na dendrite growth, and large volume changes during Na plating‐stripping cycles, leading to rapid electrochemical performance degradations. In this paper, we survey key challenges faced by high‐rate SMAs, and we highlight representative stabilization strategies, including the general modification of SMB components (including the host, Na metal surface, electrolyte, separator, and cathode), and emerging solutions with the development of solid‐state SMBs and liquid metal anodes; we elaborate the working principle, performance, and application of these strategies, to reduce the Na nucleation energy barriers and promote Na+ ion transfer kinetics for stable high‐rate Na metal anodes. This review will inspire further efforts to stabilize SMAs and other metal (e.g., Li, K, Mg, Zn) anodes, promoting high‐rate applications of high‐energy metal batteries towards a more sustainable society.This article is protected by copyright.
