Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), an emerging secondary battery technology, present distinct advantages such as resource abundance, cost-effectiveness, high energy efficiency, extended durability, potential safety advantages under specific operating, storage, and transport conditions, provided that overcharge reactions, gas evolution, interphase instability, and thermal-abuse risks are properly controlled, reliable operation across extreme temperatures, superior high-rate charging/discharging performance, and minimal maintenance requirements. This industrial perspective assesses SIBs from materials selection to commercial deployment, with particular emphasis on manufacturing compatibility, cost structure, safety validation, full-cell design, and scale-up readiness. It then evaluates key commercialization metrics, including cost and performance targets, alongside market viability. The analysis further identifies obstacles across battery components that hinder improved electrochemical performance and examines technological trajectories. Because the cathode generally represents the major cost and performance-determining component in SIB, this review gives attention to cathode chemistry, together with their effects on cost, energy density, structural stability, air/moisture sensitivity, and manufacturability. The anode discussion is correspondingly focused on hard carbon-related practical limitations, rather than treating the anode as the dominant theme. This balanced component-level analysis is intended to clarify how SIBs should be optimized as a distinct battery chemistry rather than as a substitute for LIBs. These insights aim to accelerate SIB deployment by bridging academia and industry. SIBs commercialization is advancing but remains dependent on chemistry, cell design, manufacturing and safety. Many SIB technologies are currently transitioning from pilot-scale validation and early commercial demonstration toward broader large-scale manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":306,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage Materials","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 105550"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149084624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its significance now is not solely electrochemical; it has major implications for supply chain geopolitics, environmental sustainability, and industrial transformation. This review provides a holistic analysis of the fluorine factor in lithium-ion batteries. It begins by examining the global distribution of fluorite resources and their geopolitical sensitivity, which is comparable to that of rare-earth elements. The review then systematically evaluates the applications of fluorine chemistry throughout the battery value chain, including lithium salts, electrolyte solvents, additives, binders, and separators. It further elucidates how the distinctive properties of fluorine, particularly its high electronegativity and strong C–F bonds, enhance energy density, safety, and cycle life. For fluorochemical companies, this transition creates unprecedented opportunities to expand from traditional industrial markets into the rapidly growing new-energy sector. The review identifies and evaluates several strategic pathways for capturing these opportunities, including upstream integration, the production of high-value specialty chemicals, and strategic partnerships with battery manufacturers. Finally, it addresses the sustainability and recycling challenges associated with fluorine-containing materials, with particular emphasis on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It also offers forward-looking perspectives on how the fluorochemical industry can evolve from a conventional supplier into a central enabler of the ongoing energy transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":306,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage Materials","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 105558"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149084620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, although previous studies have revealed potential instability factors of LTPO-based electrolytes at Li metal interfaces, the evolution process from interfacial heterogeneity to lithium dendrite penetration-induced failure remains insufficiently understood. Herein, we reveal that the instability of LTPO-based electrolytes originates from the coupling between rapid Li⁺ transport and interfacial heterogeneity, induced by uneven surface potential, complex electronic environments, and weak Li affinity. To address these issues, we propose a LiTaO₃ (LTO)-regulated dual-filler composite electrolyte (TP-CSE), where LTO enables interfacial electric-field homogenization and uniform Li nucleation while maintaining the fast Li⁺ transport of LTPO. The optimized TP-CSE achieves a high ionic conductivity of 5.15 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹, an activation energy of 0.17 eV, and enables Li/TP-CSE/Li symmetric cells to cycle stably for over 1200 h at 0.2 mA cm⁻²/0.2 mAh cm⁻². Moreover, Li/TP-CSE/NCM523 full cells retain 97.8% capacity after 400 cycles at 1 C and deliver a reversible capacity of 108.6 mAh g⁻¹ after 500 cycles at 5 C.

Yet this straightforward upgrade is severely constrained by the poor high-voltage stability of current electrolytes, which accelerates cathode degradation and destabilizes the electrode–electrolyte interphase, fuels persistent parasitic reactions, and sharply elevates the risk of thermal runaway. To address the challenges of high operating voltages and thermal runaway, we propose a novel asymmetric fluorinated carboxylate electrolyte by the introduction of highly fluorinated fragments into carboxylate solvents and significant steric hindrance functional group. By manipulating the unique solvation coordination, this strategy suppresses combustion and promotes anion-dominated decomposition. This mechanism facilitates the formation of an inorganic-rich, robust cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI), thereby significantly enhancing the safety and stability of LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ cathode (NCM811). Crucially, 1.5 Ah Graphite || NCM811 pouch cells with this electrolyte demonstrate cycling performance at 4.4 V, retaining 88% capacity after 700 cycles with an average coulombic efficiency of 99.95% (without thermal runaway during the critical nail penetration test).

However, their practical application in high voltage ASSBs is severely limited by detrimental interfacial degradation with high-nickel layered cathodes. Herein, we report an M-site Nb⁵⁺ substitution strategy that simultaneously enhances bulk Li⁺ transport and constructs a protective cathode|SE interphase. The optimized Li_1.7Zr_0.7Nb_0.3Cl₆ SE promotes the formation of a mixed oxide/oxychloride interphase containing ZrClO⁻ and Nb₂O₅-related species, together with a LiCl-rich interfacial species. This self-limiting interphase suppresses continuous electrolyte degradation while maintaining favorable Li⁺ transport across the cathode|SE interface, thereby contributing to improved interfacial stability during high voltage cycling. Theoretical simulations reveal that Nb⁵⁺ substitution strengthens M-Cl bonds, optimizes the lattice environment, and facilitates Li⁺ migration. Consequently, when paired with an uncoated LiNi_0.82Co_0.12Mn_0.06O₂ cathode, the optimized ASSB delivers outstanding high-voltage cycling stability. It retains 90.5% of its initial capacity after 1000 cycles at 1 C and 4.2 V, and 84.7% after 500 cycles at 4.3 V. Comprehensive characterizations demonstrate that Nb⁵⁺ incorporation mitigates the detrimental H2-H3 phase transition and limits interfacial impedance growth.
