1D Nanomaterials: Design, Synthesis, and Applications in Sodium–Ion Batteries

Sodium–ion batteries (SIBs) have received extensive attention as ideal candidates for large‐scale energy storage systems (ESSs) owing to the rich resources and low cost of sodium (Na). However, the larger size of Na+ and the less negative redox potential of Na+/Na result in low energy densities, sho...

Description
Summary:Sodium–ion batteries (SIBs) have received extensive attention as ideal candidates for large‐scale energy storage systems (ESSs) owing to the rich resources and low cost of sodium (Na). However, the larger size of Na+ and the less negative redox potential of Na+/Na result in low energy densities, short cycling life, and the sluggish kinetics of SIBs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop appropriate Na storage electrode materials with the capability to host larger Na+ and fast ion diffusion kinetics. 1D materials such as nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires, are generally considered to be high‐capacity and stable electrode materials, due to their uniform structure, orientated electronic and ionic transport, and strong tolerance to stress change. Here, the synthesis of 1D nanomaterials and their applications in SIBs are reviewed. In addition, the prospects of 1D nanomaterials on energy conversion and storage as well as the development and application orientation of SIBs are presented. 1D nanomaterials (e.g., nanofibers, nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts, etc.) are considered promising electrode materials due to their orientated electronic and ionic transport, short radial distance, and strong tolerance to stress change. The success of numerous 1D nanomaterials fabricated via various methods and their application in sodium–ion batteries is described.
