Research Progress of Anode of Sodium Ion Batteries
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are widely applied in electronic devices,electric vehicles,and stationary energy storage systems.Unfortunately,the limited and high cost of raw materials results in lithium-ion batteries being difficult to meet the increasing demand,therefore,the research and development of low-cost,high-performance rechargeable batteries that can complement/substitute the lithium-ion batteries are one of the current research hotspots.Due to the similar working principles and the low cost of raw materials,sodium-ion batteries are considered one of the next generations that can complement/substitute lithium-ion batteries.However,the lack of a high-capacity,long-cycling life,low-cost anode hinds the practical application.To guide the research and develop the anodes,the current research status was reviewed,and the advantages/disadvantages of nascent anode materials were analyzed,and a prospect of the sodium-ion batteries in future was given.
