Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have garnered significant attention due to their abundant resources and cost advantages. Hard carbon (HC) is considered one of the most promising anode materials for SIBs. However, irreversible sodium loss caused by the unique structure of hard carbon leads to a very low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) in SIBs. Pre-sodiation technology can effectively enhance battery performance by pre-supplementing sodium ions into the electrode material. This review systematically examines pre-sodiation strategies for SIBs with hard carbon as the anode material, discusses the key challenges faced by pre-sodiation technology in industrialisation, and explores the future direction of pre-sodiation technology. This review aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of pre-sodiation strategies and offer theoretical insights for developing efficient, industrially compatible pre-sodiation technologies for SIBs.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
