The Structure and Electrochemical Mechanisms of Sodium-ion Batteries

Abstract

Another area that has been studied a lot lately in sustainable and renewable energy storage systems is electrochemical energy storage systems (such as batteries and capacitors). Different energy storage systems are needed to provide the requested energy and maximize reliability. Different energy storage systems are available depending on their intended use. Sodium (Na) - ion and lithium (Li) - ion batteries are the leading electrochemical energy storage systems, and the working mechanisms of both groups are quite similar to each other. Although Li-ion batteries are widely used in many application systems today, it is aimed to commercialize and develop Na-ion batteries (SIB) in a similar way. Therefore, in this review study, in order to provide a general understanding of SIBs, the general structures and electrochemical mechanisms of the cathode, anode, and electrolytes of SIBs are emphasized.

Sodyum-iyon Bataryaların Yapısı ve Elektrokimyasal Mekanizmaları

Abstract

Sürdürülebilir ve yenilenebilir enerji depolama sistemleri içerisinde son zamanlarda üzerinde oldukça fazla çalışılan diğer bir alan ise elektrokimyasal enerji depolama sistemleridir (pil ve kapasitör gibi). Talep edilen enerjiyi sağlayabilmek ve güvenirliği en üst düzeye çıkarmak için farklı enerji depolama sistemlerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Kullanım amaçlarına göre farklı enerji depolama sistemleri mevcuttur. Elektrokimyasal enerji depolama sistemlerinin başında Sodyum (Na) - iyon ve lityum (Li) - iyon bataryalar gelmektedir ve iki grubunda çalışma mekanizmaları birbirine oldukça benzemektedir. Li-iyon bataryalar günümüzde birçok uygulama sisteminde kullanımı yaygın olduğu halde Na-iyon bataryalarında (SIB) benzer açıdan ticarileştirilmesi ve geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada SIB'lere ilişkin genel bir anlayış sağlamak amacıyla SIB'lerin katot, anot, elektrolitlerine ilişkin genel olarak yapıları ve elektrokimyasal mekanizmaları incelenmektedir.
