Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on sodium-ion batteries is focused on new sodium-ion battery technologies. Can we boost the performance and cost properties of a sodium-ion battery by pushing the boundaries of the materials, manufacturing processes, and device manufacture?

In order to establish sodium ion as a credible technology, it must be either a suitable alternative to current lithium ion technologies or have a market of its own. Can sodium ion provide technology which is suitable for new applications?

This edition discusses the suitability of sodium ion batteries for applications and pushes the current performance limits of device performance.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Novel sodium-ion materials, positive, negative, and electrolytes;
  • Electrode design;
  • Electrochemical test method;
  • NIB cell design;
  • Safety failure analysis;
  • Performance lifetime and degradation studies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Batteries is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Sodium titanium hexacyanoferrate (TiHCF, Na0.86Ti0.73[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O) is synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method in this study. Its crystal structure, chemical composition, and geometric/electronic structural information are investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), microwave plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (MP-AES), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The electroactivity of TiHCF as a host for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries is studied in organic electrolytes. The results demonstrate that TiHCF is a good positive electrode material for both Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Surprisingly, however, the material shows better electrochemical performance as a Na-ion host, offering a capacity of 74 mAh g−1 at C/20 and a 94.5% retention after 50 cycles. This is due to the activation of Ti towards the redox reaction, making TiHCF a good candidate electrode material for Na-ion batteries. Full article
