a) Galvanostatic charge/discharge voltage profiles at a rate of C/10. (b) The key metrics for Na-ion batteries are low cost and material abundance, as opposed to high-energy density for Li-ion batteries. The target application for Na-ion batteries, therefore, is grid-scale energy storage. Credit: ACS, Zhu et al.
