Abstract

Sodium–sulfur (Na–S) batteries are considered as a promising successor to the next-generation of high-capacity, low-cost and environmentally friendly sulfur-based battery systems. However, Na–S batteries still suffer from the “shuttle effect” and sluggish ion transport kinetics due to the dissolution of sodium polysulfides and poor conductivity of sulfur. MXenes, as 2D transition metal carbides/nitrides, have exhibited excellent conductivity, diverse structure and tunable surface groups, particularly playing a crucial role in inhibiting polysulfide shuttle and sodium dendrite growth. In this review, achievements and advancements of MXene-based Na–S batteries are discussed, including applications of a sulfur cathode, separator, interlayer between separator and cathode, and sodium anode. In the end, perspectives and challenges on the future development of MXene-based materials in Na–S batteries are proposed.

钠硫（Na-S）电池被认为是下一代高容量、低成本和环保型硫基电池系统的理想接班人。然而，由于多硫化钠的溶解和硫的低导电性，钠硫电池仍然存在 "穿梭效应 "和离子传输动力学缓慢的问题。MXenes 作为二维过渡金属碳化物/氮化物，具有优异的导电性、多样的结构和可调的表面基团，特别是在抑制多硫化物穿梭和钠枝晶生长方面发挥着重要作用。本综述讨论了基于 MXene 的 Na-S 电池的成就和进展，包括硫阴极、隔膜、隔膜和阴极之间的夹层以及钠阳极的应用。最后，对 MXene 基材料在 Na-S 电池中的未来发展提出了展望和挑战。
