"Strategies for Sodium Metal Batteries with Long Lifespan and High Safe" by Ming Zhu
Sodium metal as anode material applied to SMBs has gained considerable attention in recent years, owing to its high theoretical capacity (1166 mAh g-1), low cost and earth abundance when compared with Li metal. However, there is still a long way to go before realizing the practical application of SMBs. Sodium metal anode (SMA) suffers from challenging issues, such as unstable SEI, Na dendrites growth, and infinite volume change during cycling, etc, leading to rapid capacity decay, shortened lifespan and even safety concerns. So far, a variety of strategies have been put forward to addressing t...
