Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Benefiting from abundant resource reserves and considerable theoretical capacity, sodium (Na) metal is a strong anode candidate for low-cost, large-scale energy storage applications. However, extensive volume change and mossy/dendritic growth during Na electrodeposition have impeded the practical application of Na metal batteries. Herein, a self-sodiophilic carbon host, lignin-derived carbon nanofiber (LCNF), is reported to accommodate Na metal through an infiltration method. Na metal is completely encapsulated in the 3D space of the LCNF host, where the strong interaction between LCNF and Na metal is mediated by the self-sodiophilic sites. The resulting LCNF@Na electrode delivers good cycling stability with a low voltage hysteresis and a dendrite-free morphology in commercial carbonate-based electrolytes. When interfaced with O3-NaNi0.33Mn0.33Fe0.33O2 and P2-Na0.7Ni0.33Mn0.55Fe0.1Ti0.02O2 cathodes in full cell Na metal batteries, the LCNF@Na electrode enables high capacity retentions, long cycle life, and good rate capability. Even in a lean Na anode environment, the full cells can still deliver good electrochemical performance. The overall stable battery performance, based on a self-sodiophilic, biomass-derived carbon host, illuminates a promising path towards enabling low-cost Na metal batteries.
