  • electrolyte design strategies and research progress for room temperature Sodium Ion batteries
    Energy and Environmental Science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Suli Chen, Hong Wang, Khalil Amine, Xiaozhen Liao
    Abstract:

    Electrolyte design or functIonal development is very effective at promoting the performance of Sodium-Ion batteries, which are attractive for electrochemical energy storage devices due to abundant Sodium resources and low cost. This review discusses recent advances on electrolytes for Sodium-Ion batteries and comprehensive electrolyte design strategies for various materials systems as well as functIonal applicatIons. The discussIon is divided into three electrolyte types: liquid, solid state, and gel state. Liquid electrolytes are further divided into different solvent types, including organic carbonate ester, ether, Ionic liquid, and water. Solid-state electrolytes also contain two types: solid polymer and glass–ceramic composite. The challenges and prospects of electrolytes for Sodium-Ion batteries are discussed as well.

  • Room-temperature statIonary Sodium-Ion batteries for large-scale electric energy storage
    Energy and Environmental Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: Huilin Pan, Yong-sheng Hu, Liquan Chen
    Abstract:

    Room-temperature statIonary Sodium-Ion batteries have attracted great attentIon particularly in large-scale electric energy storage applicatIons for renewable energy and smart grid because of the huge abundant Sodium resources and low cost. In this article, a variety of electrode materials including cathodes and anodes as well as electrolytes for room-temperature statIonary Sodium-Ion batteries are briefly reviewed. We compare the difference in storage behavior between Na and Li in their analogous electrodes and summarize the Sodium storage mechanisms in the available electrode materials. This review also includes some new results from our group and our thoughts on developing new materials. Some perspectives and directIons on designing better materials for practical applicatIons are pointed out based on knowledge from the literature and our experience. Through this extensive literature review, the search for suitable electrode and electrolyte materials for statIonary Sodium-Ion batteries is still challenging. However, after intensive research efforts, we believe that low-cost, long-life and room-temperature Sodium-Ion batteries would be promising for applicatIons in large-scale energy storage system in the near future.

  • an ultrastable anode for long life room temperature Sodium Ion batteries
    Angewandte Chemie, 2014
    Co-Authors: Yang Ren, Shaohua Guo, Yanbei Zhu, Dongdong Xiao, Yumin Qian, Haoshen Zhou
    Abstract:

    Sodium-Ion batteries are important alternative energy storage devices that have recently come again into focus for the development of large-scale energy storage devices because Sodium is an abundant and low-cost material. However, the development of electrode materials with long-term stability has remained a great challenge. A novel negative-electrode material, a P2-type layered oxide with the chemical compositIon Na2/3Co1/3Ti2/3O2, exhibits outstanding cycle stability (ca. 84.84 % capacity retentIon for 3000 cycles, very small decrease in the volume (0.046 %) after 500 cycles), good rate capability (ca. 41 % capacity retentIon at a discharge/charge rate of 10 C), and a usable reversible capacity of about 90 mAh g(-1) with a safe average storage voltage of approximately 0.7 V in the Sodium half-cell. This P2-type layered oxide is a promising anode material for Sodium-Ion batteries with a long cycle life and should greatly promote the development of room-temperature Sodium-Ion batteries.
