Heterogeneous WSx/WO3 Thorn-Bush Nanofiber Electrodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Heteroatom facilitated preparation of electrodes for sodium ion batteries

Sodium ion batteries are attractive due to the abundance of sodium in the earth's crust. Sodium ion is larger than the lithium ion; hence, transforming the understanding emanated from lithium ion battery research into sodium ion battery investigations is not straightforward. However, a successful lithium battery electrode exhibited impressive performance while it was being used as an electrode ...

Anode for Sodium-Ion Batteries

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201500174 The continuous pulverization of alloy anodes during repeated sodiation/desodiation cycles is the major reason for the faster capacity decay. However, if these elements can form a compound (such as Sn 4 P 3 ) after each Na extraction, the pulverization of these elements can be partially repaired and the accumulation of pulverization can be terminated. Therefore, we ca...

Negative electrodes for Na-ion batteries.

Research interest in Na-ion batteries has increased rapidly because of the environmental friendliness of sodium compared to lithium. Throughout this Perspective paper, we report and review recent scientific advances in the field of negative electrode materials used for Na-ion batteries. This paper sheds light on negative electrode materials for Na-ion batteries: carbonaceous materials, oxides/p...

Owing to almost unmatched volumetric energy density, Li-ion batteries have dominated the portable electronics industry and solid state electrochemical literature for the past 20 years. Not only will that continue, but they ar...
