Long Cycle Life, Low Self-Discharge Sodium-Selenium Batteries with High Selenium Loading and Suppressed Polyselenide Shuttling
Abstract
The utilization of selenium as a cathode in rechargeable sodium–selenium batteries is hampered by low Se loading, inferior electrode kinetics, and polyselenide shuttling between the cathode and anode. Here a high-performance sodium–selenium cell is presented by coupling a binder-free, self-interwoven carbon nanofiber–selenium cathode with a light-weight carbon-coated bifunctional separator. With this strategy, electrodes with a high Se mass loading (4.4 mg cm-2) render high reversible capacities of 599 mA h g-1 at 0.1C rate and 382 mA h g-1 at 5C rate. In addition, this novel cell offers good shelf-life with a low self-discharge, retaining 93.4% of its initial capacity even after resting for six months. As evidenced by experimental and density functional theory analysis, the remarkable dynamic (cycle life) and static (shelf-life) stabilities originate from the high electrical conductivity, improved Na-ion accessibility through the 3D interconnected open channels, and highly restrained polyselenide shuttle. The findings demonstrate the viability of high-performance sodium–selenium batteries with high selenium loading.
