Microsized Sn as Advanced Anodes in Glyme-Based Electrolyte for Na-Ion Batteries

Adv Mater. 2016 Nov;28(44):9824-9830. doi: 10.1002/adma.201603212. Epub 2016 Sep 20.

Abstract

Microsized Sn presents stable cyclic performance in a glyme-based electrolyte, which brings 19% increase in energy density of Sn/Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cells as compared to the cells using a hard carbon anode. The NaSn intermediate phases are also clarified.
