摘要

The rapid advancement of renewable energy technologies has increased the demand for large-scale, cost-effective, and durable energy storage systems to maintain grid stability. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate the market; however, their long-term scalability is limited by high costs, uneven resource distribution, limited lithium availability, and environmental concerns. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative due to the abundance, low cost, and chemical similarity of sodium to lithium. Nevertheless, the larger ionic radius of Na⁺ leads to sluggish diffusion kinetics, limited electrode compatibility, and structural instability, which collectively hinder electrochemical performance. This paper reviews recent progress in SIB technology, with a particular focus on wide-temperature sodium-ion batteries (WT-SIBs). Advances in cathode materials are highlighted, along with developments in anode materials such as hard carbon and alloy-based systems. Furthermore, strategies for electrolyte optimization and interface engineering are discussed to enhance ion transport, ensure stability over a wide temperature range (− 40 °C to 80 °C), and suppress degradation. Finally, key challenges and future directions are outlined to improve the safety, durability, and energy density of SIB systems. WT-SIBs are expected to play a vital role in future large-scale energy storage applications.
