Abstract
Rechargeable sodium‑selenium (NaSe) battery is an emerging electrochemical energy storage technology in recent years. Abundant Na resources in the Earth's crust and intrinsic high capacity of Se render NaSe battery very promising to become an available high-energy system. Nevertheless, significant challenges from Se cathodes, covering low reactivity of active materials, shuttle effect of intermediates, dramatic volume variation of electrodes, and sluggish kinetics, are hampering sustainable development of NaSe batteries. Various advanced strategies have been proposed to tackle these central issues in NaSe batteries. In this review, we comprehensively summarize recent progress on design strategies for advanced NaSe batteries, involving electrochemical principles, key challenges, design strategies, real applications, and favorable perspectives.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
