Abstract

Abstract:

Studies on sodium ion batteries for energy storage have gradually gained momentum, motivating the development of practical applications. However, can the theory, materials, and applications of sodium ion batteries be compatible with those of present lithium ion batteries? What are the competitive advantages of sodium ion batteries? To answer these questions, this article considers the present sodium-storage electrode materials and the current developmental status of lithium ion batteries and analyzes the advantages of sodium ion batteries from an application perspective. It then suggests some feasible research directions of sodium-storage electrode materials and practical solutions for sodium ion battery systems. This paper is intended as a reference for the research and application of sodium ion batteries in the future.

Key words: sodium ion battery, cost, resource, material
