Abstract

Abstract:

Sodium-ion batteries as a new type of clean and renewable energy technology have attracted more and more attention, and have a distinct advantage especially in the area of large-scale energy storage application. It is expected to partially replace lithium-ion batteries. Phosphorus-based anode materials for sodium-ion batteries have drawn wide attention due to the high theoretical capacity and suitable sodium storage voltage. The poor electrical conductivity and big volume change during cycling processes, however, make their commercialization challenging. To elucidate the research progress of phosphorus-based anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, the sodium storage mechanism, current research status, and modification strategies of red phosphorus, black phosphorus, phosphorene, and metal phosphides as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries have been summarized. Currently, the researches of phosphorus-based sodium-ion battery anodes focus on the combination with conductive carbonaceous materials and the design of materials with confined structure. In addition, protective/conductive coating, elemental substitution/doping, usage of new types of electrolytes, and tuning of electrochemical window can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of phosphorus-based sodium-ion battery anodes. The future research tendency can focus on the preparation of phosphorous-rich materials, the determination of sodium storage mechanism, the usage of advance characterization and theoretical methods, and the study of matched components and full cell.

Key words: sodium-ion batteries, anode materials, phosphorus-based materials, metal phosphides
