Synergistic Role of Electrolyte and Binder for Enhanced Electrochemical Storage for Sodium-Ion Battery.

ABSTRACT: Sodium-ion batteries are promising futuristic large-scale energy-storage devices because of the abundance and low cost of sodium. However, the development and commercialization of the sodium-ion battery solely depends on the use of high-capacity electrode materials. Among the various metal oxides, SnO₂ has a high theoretical specific capacity for sodium-ion battery. However, the enormous volume expansion and low electrical conductivity of SnO₂ hinder its capability to reach the predicted theoretical value. Although different nanostructured designs of electrode materials like SnO₂ nanocomposites have been studied, the effects of other cell components like electrolyte and binder on the specific capacity and cyclic stability are yet to be understood.
