2.1. The revival of room-temperature sodium-ion batteries Due to the abundant sodium (Na) reserves in the Earth’s crust (Fig. 5 (a)) and to the similar physicochemical properties of sodium and lithium, sodium-based electrochemical energy storage holds significant promise for large-scale energy storage and grid development.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative The growing need to store an increasing amount of renewable energy in a sustainable way has rekindled interest for sodium-ion battery technology, owing to the natural abundance of sodium.
Presently, sodium-ion batteries based on Na 3 V 2 (PO 4) 2 F 3 /C are the subject of intense research focused on improving the energy density by harnessing the third sodium, which has so far been reported to be electrochemically inaccessible.
Due to the wide availability and low cost of sodium resources, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as a promising alternative for next-generation large-scale EES systems.
Sodium-ion battery technology has recently aroused great interest, among all the scientific community, as a valid and more environmentally friendly alternative to Li-ion, owing to the abundance of sodium all over the planet 3, 4.
For example, high-temperature zero emission battery research activity (ZEBRA) cells based on Na/NiCl 2 systems and high-temperature Na–S cells , which are successful commercial cases of stationary and mobile applications , have already demonstrated the potential of sodium-based rechargeable batteries.
