TLDR
The battery systems reviewed here include sodium-sulfur batteries that are commercially available for grid applications, redox-flow batteries that offer low cost, and lithium-ion batteries whose development for commercial electronics and electric vehicles is being applied to grid storage.Abstract:
The increasing interest in energy storage for the grid can be attributed to multiple factors, including the capital costs of managing peak demands, the investments needed for grid reliability, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Although existing energy storage is dominated by pumped hydroelectric, there is the recognition that battery systems can offer a number of high-value opportunities, provided that lower costs can be obtained. The battery systems reviewed here include sodium-sulfur batteries that are commercially available for grid applications, redox-flow batteries that offer low cost, and lithium-ion batteries whose development for commercial electronics and electric vehicles is being applied to grid storage.read more

High-Performance Sodium Metal Anodes Enabled by a Bifunctional Potassium Salt
TL;DR: KTFSI is introduced for the first time as a bifunctional electrolyte additive to stabilize Na metal electrodes, in which the TFSI- anions decompose into lithium nitride and oxynitrides to render a desirable solid electrolyte interphase layer while the K+ cations preferentially adsorb onto Na protrusions and provide electrostatic shielding to suppress dendritic deposition.

Exceptionally High Ionic Conductivity in Na 3 P 0.62 As 0.38 S 4 with Improved Moisture Stability for Solid-State Sodium-Ion Batteries
Zhaoxin Yu,Shun Li Shang,Joo-Hwan Seo,Daiwei Wang,Xiangyi Luo,Qingquan Huang,Shuru Chen,Jun Lu,Xiaolin Li,Zi Kui Liu,Donghai Wang +10 more
TL;DR: A Na-ion solid-state electrolyte, Na3 P0.62 As0.38 S4, is developed with an exceptionally high conductivity and enhanced moisture stability and dual effects of alloying element As (lattice expansion and a weaker AsS bond strength) are responsible for the superior conductivity.

Challenges for Rechargeable Li Batteries
John B. Goodenough,Youngsik Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the challenges for further development of Li rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and proposed a nonflammable electrolyte with either a larger window between its lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) or a constituent that can develop rapidly a solid/ electrolyte-interface (SEI) layer to prevent plating of Li on a carbon anode during a fast charge of the battery.
