Sodium-Ion Capacitors: Mechanisms, Materials, and Technologies

Enables readers to quickly understand core issues and field development of sodium-ion capacitors

Sodium Ion Capacitors summarizes and outlines the dynamics and development of sodium-ion capacitors, covering key aspects of the technology including background, classification and configuration, key technologies, and more, allowing readers to gain an understanding of sodium-ion capacitors from the perspective of both industrial technology and electrochemistry.

Sodium Ion Capacitors includes information on:

• EDLC-type mechanism of SCs and battery-type mechanism of SIBs, definition and types of pseudocapacitance, and energy storage mechanism of pseudocapacitors
• Cathode materials for sodium-ion capacitors, covering EDLC cathode materials, carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, and hollow carbon microspheres
• Flexible battery-type anode and capacitive cathode sics cell configurations, including flexible electrodes based on carbon nanofiber, graphene substrates, carbon cloth, MXenes, and metal foil
• Pre-sodiation technologies, covering operation with Li metal, usage of Li-based alternatives, and the sacrificial additives method

Summarizing the development, directions, potential, and core issues of sodium ion capacitors, Sodium Ion Capacitors is an essential resource on the subject for materials scientists, solid state chemists, electrochemists, and semiconductor physicists in both industry and academia.
