Abstract

The development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), offers new opportunities to address the depletion of Li and Co resources; however, their implementation is hindered by their relatively low capacities and moderate operation voltages and resulting low energy densities. To overcome these limitations, considerable attention has been focused on anionic redox reactions, which proceed at high voltages with extra capacity. This manuscript covers the origin and recent development of anionic redox electrode materials for SIBs, including state-of-the-art P2- and O3-type layered oxides. We sequentially analyze the anion activity–structure–performance relationship in electrode materials. Finally, we discuss remaining challenges and suggest new strategies for future research in anion-redox cathode materials for SIBs.

Highlights

  • Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most efficient energy storage devices to power portable electronics and electric vehicles owing to their high energy density and good cycle life

  • The electrification of vehicles has confirmed the feasibility of LIBs as medium- or large-scale energy devices; the application of LIBs is being expanded toward grid-scale applications to store electricity generated from renewable applications or power plants

  • The use of cathode materials with both anion- and cationredox reactions represents a promising approach toward important gains in the energy density of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs)

Summary

Introduction

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most efficient energy storage devices to power portable electronics and electric vehicles owing to their high energy density and good cycle life. The presence of the Na-O-A configuration triggers anionic reactions that depend on structures through the irreversible release of O2, reversible redox process, and hysteresis process The migration of these Li and Na in the transition metal layers to the Na layers causes the formation of a lone pair of electrons in the O 2p orbital, so that the high density of state energy for the oxygen allows the oxidation of oxygen the reaction is kinetically slow.
