Sodium-ion and magnesium-ion batteries, as new energy storage systems in portable devices, have attracted much attention of the investigators. However, the concerns regarding the high cost and the limited lithium reserves in the earth’s crust have driven the researchers to search more sustainable alternative energy storage solutions.

Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated new type of room-temperature and high-energy density sodium rechargeable battery using a sulfur dioxide (SO 2 )-based inorganic molten complex catholyte that serves as both a Na + -conducting medium and cathode material (i.e. catholyte). mA cm −2 ). The cutoff voltage for charge is 4.05 V.

Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. Sodium-ion based rechargeable batteries (SIBs, e.g., earlier post ) are of interest due to sodium’s abundance, far lower prices, and a greener synthesis while maintaining a similarity in ion-insertion chemistry.

To prepare the material, the team reacted sodium thiosulfate with hydrochloric acid to create monodisperse sulfur nanoparticles (NPs); these NPs were then coated with TiO 2 , resulting in the formation of sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles. This is a very important achievement for the future of rechargeable batteries. —Yi Cui.
