Abstract:

Sodium/potassium-ion batteries are considered the most promising choice for large-scale energy storage applications in the post-lithium-ion battery era due to their abundant resource reserves. Among the numerous anode materials for sodium/potassium ion batteries, Sb-based anodes have attracted attention due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, Sb-based materials have thorny problems in the energy storage process that hinder their practical application, such as, huge volume expansion causing the material to pulverize and separate from the current collector, causing battery failure; poor conductivity and slow electrochemical power; electrode-side reactions at the electrolyte interface, poor battery performance, etc. In order to solve these problems, researchers have explored aspects such as structural design, doping catalytic modification, and electrolyte interface control, hoping to take advantage of the high capacity of Sb-based materials. Therefore, this article summarizes the highlights of the research on “Sb-based anodes for sodium/potassium ion batteries” in the past ten years, discusses the failure mechanism of Sb-based materials in detail. And the corresponding solutions are systematically reviewed to provide a reference for the optimization strategy of high-performance Sb-based and other alloy-based anode materials.

Key words: Sodium/potassium-ion batteries, Sb-based anode, Failure analysis, Electrochemical performance optimization
