Sodium-ion batteries, electrode materials, electrolytes, sustainable energy storage, cathodes and anodesAbstract
The growing interest in sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions has highlighted the potential of sodium ion batteries (SIB) as a complementary alternative to lithium ion batteries (LIB). The Strategic Minerals group (Grupo Minerales Estratégicos-MinEs) at the Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FIUBA) took on the challenge of investigating this type of battery by studying the materials used in electrodes and electrolytes, highlighting the properties, advantages and challenges of cathodes, such as layered sodium oxides, polyanionic compounds and Prussian blue analogs, as well as anodes, including carbonaceous and alloy-forming materials, and different types of liquid, solid and polymeric electrolytes. Despite technical challenges, such as cyclic stability and energy density, SIB offer promising opportunities for sustainable energy storage through the development of advanced materials and technologies.
