"2D Sn/C freestanding frameworks as a robust nucleation layer for highl" by Guanyao Wang, Fangfang Yu et al.
Abstract Sodium metal anodes (SMAs) are regarded as a good candidate for next-generation alkali metal batteries owing to the higher natural reserves and lower cost of sodium. Nevertheless, the challenging issues associated with SMAs, including the dendritic formation and the high reactivity of sodium metal, have significantly impeded the utilization of SMAs in the practical deployment of sodium metal batteries. Herein, we report that 2D graphitic carbon frameworks embedded with highly dispersive Sn nanoparticles (denoted as Sn/C) serve as a robust nucleation buffer layer to spatially guide th...
