Abstract
Developing reliable and cost-effective electrical energy storage systems (EESs) for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid storage applications is vital. Na-ion batteries are the most promising alternative technology owing to their natural abundance and low sodium cost.[1] Solid-state batteries (SSBs) have garnered extensive attention for their ability to suppress the safety hazards of organic liquid electrolytes by replacing them with solid electrolytes.[2] Among the various solid electrolytes being explored, our group mainly focuses on NASICON (Sodium superionic conductor) type silicate and solid polymer electrolytes. Sodium silicates are a class of materials with composition, NaxMxSixOx (M = rare-earth metals, x = integer (1-10)).[3] They have the advantage of low sintering temperature (~1050 °C) and 3D framework structure containing MO6 octahedra and SiO4 tetrahedra providing facile ionic movement.[4] Solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) are known for their flexibility and electrode compatibility. Highly conductive, filler-free composite solid polymer electrolyte films were prepared using poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), and NaPF6.[5] PVP binder played an essential role in improving Na ion conductivity and excellent plating−stripping performance. This talk will present an overview of these solid electrolytes for next-generation sodium metal batteries.
