Elucidating the Interfacial Solvation Structures on Sodium Metal Anodes — NSF Award to University of Wisconsin-Madison (WI, $491,6
Sodium metal anode-based battery chemistry is a promising candidate for next generation energy storage systems due to its high energy density, natural abundance, and low cost. These advantages make it well suited for large-scale or grid-scale applications such as electric grids and transportation. However, the practica

| Abstract | Sodium metal anode-based battery chemistry is a promising candidate for next generation energy storage systems due to its high energy density, natural abundance, and low cost. These advantages make it well suited for large-scale or grid-scale applications such as electric grids and transportation. However, the practical use of sodium batteries is hindered by challenges in controlling the battery materials’ decay, which directly affects battery performance attributes such as power, shelf life, an |
