Title: Interphases in Sodium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article · · Advanced Energy Materials

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as economical high energy alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received significant attention for large-scale energy storage in the last few years. While the efforts of developing SIBs have benefited from the knowledge learned in LIBs, thanks to the apparent proximity between Na-ion and Li-ion, the unique physical and chemical properties of Na-ion also distinctly differ itself from Li-ion. It is expected SIBs have drastically different electrode material structure, solvation-de-solvation behavior, electrode-electrolyte interphase stability, ion transfer property, and hence electrochemical performance of batteries. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the current understanding of the anode solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) and cathode cathode-electrolyte-interphase (CEI) in SIBs, with an emphasis on how the tuning of the stability and ion transfer properties of interphases fundamentally determines the reversibility and efficiency of electrochemical reactions. Through these carefully screened references, we intend to reveal the intrinsic correlation between the properties/functionalities of the interphases and the electrochemical performances of batteries.
