New Na-ion battery combining intercalation and conversion could be promising low-cost energy storage system

Green Car Congress

Scheme of the new full sodium-ion battery, which combines an intercalation cathode and a conversion anode. This battery system combines an intercalation cathode and a conversion anode, resulting in high capacity, high rate capability, thermal stability, and much improved cycle life.
