Nanostructured Electrode Materials for Advanced Sodium-Ion Batteries

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

In view of the potential advantages of widespread availability and low cost of sodium resources over commercial lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have come into the spotlight as a promising candidate for large-scale electric energy storage. Development of advanced electrode materials with robust structure and enhanced sodium storage properties (e.g., high rate capability, long cycle life) is urgently needed to promote the practical implementation of SIBs. Nanostructure engineering has been an effective approach to improve electrochemical properties due to the small grain size, unique nanoarchitecture, desired composition, and the presence of porous/hollow structures. In this Review, we provide a concise overview with a focus on the design and synthesis of nanostructured electrode materials for SIBs. By highlighting the advantages of various nanostructured electrode materials with enhanced sodium storage, we hope to shed some light on the future development of advanced SIBs. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
