Abstract
Sodium metal batteries are promising for grid-scale storage but suffer from dendrite growth due to anion-induced cation mobility limitations. To address this, we designed an artificial solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) by grafting a fast Na+ ion conductor, Na5GdSi4O12, with oxygen vacancies (NGSO-Vo), onto a glass fiber (GF) separator. This unique structure combines fast Na+ conduction (8.55 mS cm–1) with anion immobilization, achieving a high Na+ transference number (0.9) in a conventional NaClO4/PC electrolyte. The NGSO-Vo-modified GF exhibits exceptional mechanical stability, effectively suppressing dendrite growth. As a result, Na||Na symmetric cells achieve an ultrahigh current density (30 mA cm–2) and long-term cycling (1500 h at 20 mA cm–2). Moreover, Na3V2(PO4)2F3||Na pouch cells with high mass loading (24 mg cm–2) demonstrate a record stability (4000 h). This work presents a simple yet universal strategy to enhance Na-metal battery durability, paving the way for practical energy storage applications.
钠金属电池有望用于电网规模的存储,但由于阴离子诱导的阳离子迁移限制而受到枝晶生长的影响。为了解决这个问题,我们设计了一种人工固体电解质界面(SEI),通过将快速Na+离子导体Na5GdSi4O12与氧空位(NGSO-Vo)接枝到玻璃纤维(GF)分离器上。这种独特的结构结合了快速Na+传导(8.55 mS cm-1)和阴离子固定化,在传统的NaClO4/PC电解质中实现了高Na+转移数(0.9)。ngso - vo改性GF具有优异的机械稳定性,能有效抑制枝晶生长。因此,Na||Na对称电池实现了超高电流密度(30 mA cm-2)和长期循环(在20 mA cm-2下1500小时)。此外,具有高质量负载(24 mg cm-2)的Na3V2(PO4)2F3||Na袋细胞表现出创纪录的稳定性(4000 h)。这项工作提出了一种简单而通用的策略来提高钠金属电池的耐用性,为实际的储能应用铺平了道路。
