Abstract
Problems related to the environment and energy are becoming more and more serious, and a new stage of the energy revolution is taking place around the world. As part of this, large-scale energy storage devices, as important pieces of energy equipment, have attracted much attention. Although lithium-ion batteries have excellent performance with regard to capacitance and working life, lack of lithium resources limits their large-scale application, such as in large power stations. Sodium-ion batteries have similar working principles to lithium-ion batteries, and the Earth is rich in sodium resources, so sodium-ion batteries are expected to become a substitute for lithium-ion batteries in the future. Thus, research on sodium-ion batteries has become a hotspot, and much excellent research has been reported. In Chapter 3, the basic principles, problems, and related developments of sodium-ion batteries in recent years will be introduced from the perspective of the electrolyte.
