Research Progress on Positive Electrode Materials for Sodium Batteries
The increasingly serious environmental pollution problem and the large consumption of fossil fuels have greatly promoted the innovative development of energy storage technologies such as batteries.With the increasing maturity of lithium batteries(LIBs)research and large-scale commercial applications,the shortage of lithium resources has gradually emerged.Sodium batteries(SIBs)are considered to be the most promising alternative to lithium batteries(LIBs)due to their abundant reserves,low price,and similar physical,chemical and electrochemical properties to lithium ions.In the manufacturing process of sodium batteries,the selection of cathode materials is crucial,because it determines the overall electrochemical performance and cost of the battery.At present,many kinds of materials have been reported as cathode materials for sodium batteries,including transition metal oxides,polyanionic compounds and Prussian blue compounds.This paper aims to comprehensively review the research progress of cathode materials for sodium batteries and look forward to its future research trends,in order to provide valuable reference for the research and commercialization of cathode materials for sodium batteries.
