Design of Phosphide Anodes Harvesting Superior Sodium Storage: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives

Youchen Hao et al.

Summary: Sodium (Na) ion batteries (SIBs) show great potential for stationary energy storage applications. Current research is focused on finding suitable electroactive materials for SIBs, with phosphides being particularly appealing due to their high specific capacities and low working potentials. However, there are still challenges regarding their large volume variation and inferior interfacial stability, which affect capacity and cycling decay. This review provides an in-depth understanding of phosphides for Na storage, including their mechanism, capacity assessment, phase change, and reaction types. Effective strategies and designs for high-performance phosphides are discussed, along with the correlation between electrochemical behavior and chemical/structural characteristics. The knowledge gained from phosphide research can be shared and applied beyond phosphides.
