Development of efficient, affordable, and sustainable energy storage technologies has become an area of interest due to the worsening environmental issues and rising technological dependence on Li-ion batteries. Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have been receiving intensive research efforts during the last few years. Owing to their potentially low cost and relatively high energy density, NIBs are promising energy storage devices, especially for stationary applications. A fundamental understanding of electrode properties during electrochemical reactions is important for the development of low cost, high-energy density, and long shelf life NIBs. This Review aims to summarize and discuss reaction mechanisms of the major types of NIB electrode materials reported. By appreciating how the material works and the fundamental flaws it possesses, it is hoped that this Review will assist readers in coming up with innovative solutions for designing better materials for NIBs.
由于环境问题日益恶化以及对锂离子电池的技术依赖不断增加，开发高效、经济且可持续的储能技术已成为一个备受关注的领域。在过去几年中，钠离子电池（NIBs）一直受到广泛的研究。由于其潜在的低成本和相对较高的能量密度，NIBs是很有前景的储能设备，尤其适用于固定式应用。深入了解电化学反应过程中的电极特性对于开发低成本、高能量密度和长保质期的NIBs至关重要。本综述旨在总结和讨论已报道的主要类型NIB电极材料的反应机制。通过了解材料的工作原理及其存在的基本缺陷，希望本综述能帮助读者想出创新的解决方案，以设计出更适合NIBs的材料。
