| Abstract | NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Sodium-ion chemistry provides a significant alternative to the current lithium-ion technology for rechargeable batteries with its foremost advantage of natural abundance, low cost, and much wider choices of material selection, therefore providing a critical strategy to reduce the risk of the low reserve of scarce elements in the US. However, compared to lithium reactions, sodium chemistry poses a considerable mechanical deformation to the electrodes and creates more stress |
