Sodium-ion batteries are electrochemical energy storage cells that substitute sodium ions for lithium as the charge-carrying species shuttling between cathode and anode during charge and discharge cycles, operating on insertion and extraction chemistry mechanistically analogous to lithium-ion but governed by sodium’s larger ionic radius, lower reduction potential, and substantially greater crustal abundance.
La technologie des matériaux de cathode se divise en trois grandes familles :
- oxydes de métaux de transition en couches
- analogues du bleu de Prusse
- composés polyanioniques, notamment les phosphates et les sulfates de type NASICON
Chacune présente des compromis distincts entre capacité spécifique, plateau de tension, stabilité structurelle sous sodiation répétée et coût de synthèse ; aucune chimie de cathode n'a atteint la consolidation du marché que détiennent NMC et LFP dans le lithium-ion.
Du côté de l'anode, la capacité négligeable d'intercalation du sodium du graphite le rend inadapté, ce qui oriente la recherche vers le carbone dur dérivé de la biomasse ou de précurseurs de résine comme norme pratique actuelle, les anodes en métal sodique représentant une frontière à plus haute énergie mais sujette à la dendrite. La formulation de l'électrolyte - sels NaPF6 ou NaClO4 dans des solvants éther ou carbonate, liquides ioniques ou conducteurs de sodium à l'état solide émergents - détermine de manière critique la chimie de l'interphase de l'électrolyte solide qui régit l'efficacité coulombienne du premier cycle, la capacité de débit et le vieillissement calendaire.
Les publications et brevets indexés ci-dessous traitent de la synthèse des matériaux de cathode et d'anode, de l'ingénierie des électrolytes, de la caractérisation de l'interface électrolyte solide (SEI), de la conception du format de cellule, de l'optimisation du protocole de formation et de la modélisation technico-économique au niveau du système.
