Ideal Bi-Based Hybrid Anode Material for Ultrafast Charging of Sodium-Ion Batteries at Extremely Low Temperatures.

ABSTRACT: Sodium-ion batteries have emerged as competitive substitutes for low-temperature applications due to severe capacity loss and safety concerns of lithium-ion batteries at - 20 °C or lower. However, the key capability of ultrafast charging at ultralow temperature for SIBs is rarely reported. Herein, a hybrid of Bi nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanorods is demonstrated as an ideal material to address this issue, which is synthesized via a high temperature shock method. Such a hybrid shows an unprecedented rate performance (237.9 mAh g^-1 at 2 A g^-1) at - 60 °C, outperforming all reported SIB anode materials. Coupled with a Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ cathode, the energy density of the full cell can reach to 181.9 Wh kg^-1 at - 40 °
