TL;DR: In this article, surface characterization techniques are combined for investigation on the electrode/electrolyte interface of the black phosphorus electrodes with polyacrylate binder to understand the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in alkyl carbonate ester and its evolution during cycling.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrode performance of amorphous phosphorus in aprotic Na cells is examined, and it is found that severe electrolyte decomposition results in insufficient reversibility of the electrode materials, owing to the highly reactive Na3P surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hard carbon negative electrode with CMC binder demonstrates the superior reversibility and cycleability in NaPF6 propylene carbonate solution at room temperature to that with ordinary poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVdF) binder.

TL;DR: In this article, a cyclic alkylene carbonate based solution containing a NaClO4 or NaPF6 salt with a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive was examined to study electrolyte dependency for sodium-ion batteries.
