All-Solid-State Anode-Free Sodium Batteries: Challenges and Prospects
Source abstract
Abstract
All-solid-state anode-free sodium batteries present a special and especially important kind of energy storage device. Unfortunately, the industrial production of such batteries has been absent up to now, although the prospects of their development seem to be rather optimistic. The present mini review considers the fundamental advantages of all-solid-state anode-free sodium batteries as well as challenges in their creation. The advantages of all-solid-state anode-free sodium batteries reveal themselves when comparing them with ordinary sodium-ion batteries, sodium metal batteries, sodium batteries with liquid electrolyte, and their lithium counterparts.
