AbstractNON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Sodium, similar to lithium, can be used as the electrode material in rechargeable batteries. Sodium is 1,000 times more abundant than lithium, potentially lowering battery costs. Due to its strong reactivity, sodium forms a corrosion film on the surface during battery operation, significantly impacting the performance of batteries. However, the composition and evolution of this corrosion film remain largely unknown. This project, supported by a LEAPS-MPS award, advances our
