CEI Optimization: Enable the High Capacity and Reversible Sodium‐Ion Batteries for Future Massive Energy Storage

Abstract

Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted attention due to their potential applications for future energy storage devices. Despite significant attempts to improve the core electrode materials, only some work has been conducted on the chemistry of the interface between the electrolytes and essential electrode materials. Therefore, the different cathode–electrolyte interfaces (CEIs) that form between various cathode materials and liquid electrolytes for SIBs are briefly reviewed, and the requirements of CEI performance in low‐temperature SIBs. Modifying the cathode materials and electrolyte formulas offers an efficient strategy for CEI enhancement. The summary and analysis, given in this article, may serve as a reference for the development of better sodium‐ion batteries.
