Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), recognized for balanced energy density and cost-effectiveness, are positioned as a promising complement to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and a substitute for lead-acid batteries, particularly in low-speed electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. Despite their extensive potential, concerns about range anxiety due to lower energy density underscore the importance of fast-charging technologies, which drives the exploration of high-rate electrode materials. Polyanionic cathode materials are emerging as promising candidates in this regard. However, their intrinsic limitation in electronic conductivity poses challenges for synchronized electron and ion transport, hindering their suitability for fast-charging applications. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of sodium ion migration during charging/discharging, highlighting it as a critical rate-limiting step for fast charging. By delving into intrinsic dynamics, key factors that constrain fast-charging characteristics are identified and summarized. Innovative modification routes are then introduced, with a focus on shortening migration paths and increasing diffusion coefficients, providing detailed insights into feasible strategies. Moreover, the discussion extends beyond half cells to full cells, addressing challenges and opportunities in transitioning polyanionic materials from the laboratory to practical applications. This review aims to offer valuable insights into the development of high-rate polyanionic cathodes, acknowledging their pivotal role in advancing fast-charging SIBs.

Abstract
Owing to the advantages of low cost, high safety, and a desirable cycling lifetime, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have attracted great attention in the large-scale energy storage field. However, graphite felts (GFs), widely used as electrode materials, usually possess an inferior catalytic activity for the redox reaction of vanadium ions, largely limiting the energy efficiency and rate performance of VRFBs. Here, an in situ growth of amorphous MnO2 on graphite felt (AMO@GF) was designed for application in VRFBs via mild and rapid etching engineering (5 min). After the etching process, the graphite felt fibers showed a porous and defective surface, contributing to abundant active sites toward the redox reaction. In addition, formed amorphous MnO2 can also serve as a powerful catalyst to facilitate the redox couples of VO2+/VO2+ based on density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. As a result, the VRFB using AMO@GF displayed an elevated energy efficiency and superior stability after 2400 cycles at 200 mA cm-2, and the maximum current density can reach 300 mA cm-2. Such a high-efficiency and convenient design strategy for the electrode material will drive the further development and industrial application of VRFBs and other flow battery systems.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) encounters significant obstacles, including limited intrinsic electronic and ionic conductivities, which hinder its potential for commercial feasibility. Currently, the substitution of V3+ with Mn2+ is proposed to introduce favorable carriers, enhancing the electronic conductivity of the NVP system while providing structural support and stabilizing the NASICON framework. This substitution also widens the Na+ migration pathways, accelerating ion transport. Furthermore, to bolster stability, Al2O3 coating is applied to suppress the dissolution of transition metal Mn in the electrolyte. Notably, the Al2O3 coating serves a triple role in reducing HClO4 concentration in the electrolyte, inhibiting Mn dissolution, and functioning as the ion-conducting phase. Likewise, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) effectively hinder the agglomeration of active particles during high-temperature sintering, thereby optimizing the conductivity of NVP system. In addition, the excellent structural stability is investigated by in situ XRD measurement, effectively improving the volume collapse during Na+ de-embedding. Moreover, the Na3V5.92/3Mn0.04(PO4)3/C@CNTs@1wt.%Al2O3 (NVMP@CNTs@1wt.%Al2O3) possesses unique porous structure, promoting rapid Na+ transport and increasing the interface area between the electrolyte and the cathode material. Comprehensively, the NVMP@CNTs@1wt.%Al2O3 sample demonstrates a remarkable reversible specific capacity of 122.6 mAh/g at 0.1 C. Moreover, it maintains a capacity of 115.9 mAh/g at 1 C with a capacity retention of 90.2 mAh/g after 1000 cycles. Even at 30 C, it achieves a capacity of 87.9 mAh/g, with a capacity retention rate of 84.87 % after 6000 cycles. Moreover, the NVMP@CNTs@1wt.%Al2O3//CHC full cell can deliver a high reversible capacity of 205.5 mAh/g at 0.1 C, further indicating the superior application potential in commercial utilization.

Abstract
Since Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) possesses modest volume deformation and three-dimensional ion diffusion channels, it is a potential sodium-ion battery cathode material that has been extensively researched. Nonetheless, NVP still endures the consequences of poor electronic conductivity and low voltage platforms, which need to be further improved. On this basis, a high voltage platform Na3V2(PO4)2F3 was introduced to form a composite with NVP to increase the energy density. In this study, the sol-gel technique was successfully used to synthesize a Na3V2(PO4)2.75F0.75/C (NVPF·3NVP/C) composite cathode material. The citric acid-derived carbon layer was utilized to construct three-dimensional conducting networks to effectively promote ion and electron diffusion. Furthermore, the composites' synergistic effect accelerates the quick ionic migration and improves the kinetic reaction. In particular, NVP as the dominant phase enhanced the structural stability and significantly increased the capacitive contribution. Therefore, at 0.1C, the discharge capacity of the modified NVPF·3NVP/C composite is 120.7 mA h g-1, which is greater than the theoretical discharge capacity of pure NVP (118 mA h g-1). It discharged 110.9 mA h g-1 of reversible capacity even at an elevated multiplicity of 10C, and after 200 cycles, it retained 64.1% of its capacity. Thus, the effort produced an optimized NVPF·3NVP/C composite cathode material that may be used in the sodium ion cathode.

Abstract
Superior sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) greatly need cathode materials with higher capacity and better durability. Herein, the anion group substitution strategy is proposed to design a cathode material with extraordinary Na+ storage performance, NASICON-Na4Fe3(PO4)1.9(SiO4)0.1P2O7 (NFPP-Si0.1). The experimental and theoretical research revealed that modification in the local structure by anion substitution significantly boosts the ionic/electronic transfer kinetics via optimizing the electronic conductivity and reducing the Na+ diffusion energy barrier. Furthermore, the SiO44- substitution generates a slight expansion of the crystal lattice to broaden the Na+ diffusion channel. Specifically, the custom-designed NFPP-Si0.1 could deliver a high rate capability of 77.6 mAh g-1 at constant 50 C charge-discharge and excellent recyclability of 79.4% retention rate after 7000 cycles at 10 C. Besides, it also possesses outstanding low temperature reversible capacity of 95.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and long-term cyclability of 93.6% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 5 C in -10 °C. This strategy of heterogeneous and isostructural anion group substitution provides a method for unlocking high-rate and long-life-span mixed polyanionic cathodes.

Abstract
Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 O2 F (NVPOF) is widely accepted as advanced cathode material for sodium-ion batteries with high application prospects ascribing to its considerable specific capacity and high working voltage. However, challenges in the full realization of its theoretical potential lie in the novel structural design to accelerate its Na+ diffusivity. Herein, considering the important role of polyanion groups in constituting Na+ diffusion tunnels, boron (B) is doped at the P-site to obtain Na3 V2 (P2- x Bx O8 )O2 F (NVP2- x Bx OF). As evidenced by density functional theory modeling, B-doping induces a dramatic decrease in the bandgap. Delocalization of electrons on the O anions in BO4 tetrahedra is observed in NVP2- x Bx OF, which dramatically lowers the electrostatic resistance experienced by Na+ . As a result, the Na+ diffusivity in the NVP2- x Bx OF cathode has accelerated up to 11 times higher, which secures a high rate property (67.2 mAh g-1 at 60 C) and long cycle stability (95.9% capacity retention at 108.6 mAh g-1 at 10 C after 1000 cycles). The assembled NVP1.90 B0.10 OF//Se-C full cell demonstrates exceptional power/energy density (213.3 W kg-1 @ 426.4 Wh kg-1 and 17970 W kg-1 @ 119.8 Wh kg-1 ) and outstanding capability to withstand long cycles (90.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 105.3 mAh g-1 at 10 C).

Abstract
Layered transition metal oxides are promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high energy density and appropriate operating potential. However, the poor structural stability is a major drawback to their widespread application. To address this issue, B3+ is successfully introduced into the tetrahedral site of Na0.67 Fe0.5 Mn0.5 O2 , demonstrating the effectiveness of small-radius ion doping in improving electrochemical performance. The obtained Na0.67 Fe0.5 Mn0.5 B0.04 O2 exhibits excellent cycling performance with 88.8% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C and prominent rate performance. The structure-property relationship is constructed subsequently by neutron powder diffraction, in situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which reveal that the Jahn-Teller distortion and the consequent P2-P2' phase transformation are effectively mitigated because of the occupancy of B3+ at the interstitial site. Furthermore, it is found that the transition metal layers are stabilized and the transition metal dissolution are suppressed, resulting in excellent cycling performance. Besides, the prominent rate performance is attributed to the enhanced diffusion kinetics associated with the rearrangement of Na+ . This work provides novel insight into the action mechanism of interstitial site doping and demonstrates a universal approach to improve the electrochemical properties of P2-type manganese-based sodium cathode materials.

Abstract
Manganese-based Na superionic conductors (NASICONs) Na4 MnCr(PO4 )3 with three-electron reaction are attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. However, the irreversible distortion of Mn local structure leads to sluggish electrode kinetics, voltage hysteresis, and poor cycling stability. Here, SiO4 is introduced to substitute PO4 to modulate the local environment of Mn to activate the redox activity and stabilize the reversibility of Na4 MnCr(PO4 )2.9 (SiO4 )0.1 (NMCP-Si). A combined experimental and theoretical investigation have been undertaken to reveal the evolution of electronic structures and Na storage properties associated with SiO4 substitution. The NMCP-Si exhibits much-enhanced rate capability and cycling stability, being attributed to the unique Jahn-Teller distortion (Mn3+ ) that facilitates sodium de/insertion kinetics by optimizing the Na ion diffusion channels. This work addresses the challenge of stabilizing the structure of Mn-based NASICONs and represents a breakthrough in understanding how to improve the Na+ conductivity by regulating local structure.

Abstract
Polyanion-type phosphate materials with Na-super-ionic conductor structures are promising for next-generation sodium-ion battery cathodes, although the intrinsically low electroconductivity and limited energy density have restricted their practical applications. In this study, we put forward substituting an inert phosphate with a redox-active silicate to improve the energy density and intrinsic electroconductivity of polyanion-type phosphate materials, thus enabling an advance in sodium-ion battery cathodes. As a proof of concept, some of the phosphate of Na3V2(PO4)3 was replaced by silicate to fabricate Na3V2(PO4)2.9(SiO4)0.1, which exhibited a higher average discharge voltage of 3.36 V and a higher capacity of 115.8 mA h g-1 than pristine Na3V2(PO4)3 (3.31 V, 109.6 mA h g-1) at 0.5 C, therefore improving the energy density. Moreover, the introduced silicate enhanced the intrinsic electroconductivity of Na3V2(PO4)3 materials, as confirmed by both theoretical simulation and electrochemical measurements. After pairing with a commercial hard carbon anode, the optimized Na3V2(PO4)2.9(SiO4)0.1 cathode enabled a stable-cycling full cell with 90.1% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5 C and a remarkable average coulombic efficiency of 99.88%.

Abstract
The proposal of hybrid ion batteries, which can integrate the advantages of the single ion battery, opens up a new route for developing high-performance secondary batteries. Herein, we successfully constructed an aqueous hybrid battery comprised of polyanionic-type cathode material (Na3V2(PO4)3, NVP), Zn metal anode, and aqueous Ca2+/Zn2+ hybrid electrolyte. This exciting combination gives full play to not only the excellent diffusion dynamics of Ca2+ in the NASICON (sodium super ion conductors) structure but also the electrostatic shielding effect of Ca2+ with low reduction potential that inhibits the formation of zinc dendrites. As results, the NVP//Zn Zn/Ca hybrid battery delivers favorable specific capacity with outstanding rate performance (85.3 mAh g-1 capacity at 1 C, 60.5 mAh g-1 capacity at 20 C), and excellent cycle stability (74 % capacity retention after 1300 cycles).

Abstract
Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP) is a widely studied cathode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its high ionic conductivity and attractive charge/discharge plateau (3.4 V vs. Na/Na+ ). However, its poor electronic conductivity and severe volume expansion during sodium storage need to be addressed before its intensive application could be realized. Herein, boron-doped NVP was synthesized through a facile electrospinning method. By adding boric acid into the reaction mixture during electrospinning followed by carbonization, boron could be directly inserted into the carbon matrix, giving rise to B-doped carbon nanofiber wrapped NVP. By tuning the doping amount, the boron-containing configurations could be facilely manipulated, playing different roles in promoting the sodium storage properties of the composite. Based on the calculation results, BC2 O enhanced sodium diffusion by lowering the energy barrier, while BCO2 improved the structural stability. Due to these specific functionalities of the configurations, the as-prepared composite with a balanced amount of BC2 O and BCO2 demonstrated superior sodium storage capacity of 113 mAh g-1 at 1 C, outstanding long cycling performance of 103 mAh g-1 at 10 C, and retained 91 mAh g-1 after 1500 cycles. This gave rise to a capacity loss of only 0.08‰ per cycle, much better than the undoped counterpart.

Abstract
Sodium vanadium phosphate [Na3V2(PO4)3] with high voltage platform, low cost and environment friendliness has been considered as one of the most promising candidates as cathodes for high-performance sodium-ion batteries. However, the sodium storage property of Na3V2(PO4)3 is limited because of its low electronic conductivity and poor kinetic performance. Herein, MoO42--doped Na(3+2x)V2(PO4)(3-x)MoO4(x) [NVP-MoO4 (x), x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15] have been developed and prepared by a feasible solid-state reaction. The optimal NVP-MoO4 (0.10) delivers a high initial capacity of 108.9 mA h g-1 and presents an excellent capacity retention of 91.5% at 1 C after 150 cycles. In addition, the NVP-MoO4 (0.10) shows a good rate capability, delivering a relatively high capacity of 84.2 mA h g-1 at 50 C. The results of sodium storage measurement and density of states calculation indicate that MoO42- doping can significantly enhance the structural stability, promote the kinetics behavior and boost the electronic conductivity of the materials. In-situ XRD test reveals that the electrochemical reaction of the NVP-MoO4 (0.10) exhibits a highly reversible phase transition process. This work provides a new insight for the design of advanced cathodes for high-performance sodium-ion batteries by the strategy of unique anion doping.

Abstract
Attempts to utilize lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems have achieved initial success, and solid-state LIBs using metallic lithium as the anode have also been well developed. However, the sharply increased demands/costs and the limited reserves of the two most important metal elements (Li & Co) for LIBs have raised concerns about future development. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) equipped with advanced cobalt-free cathodes show great potential in solving both "lithium panic" and "cobalt panic", and have made remarkable progress in recent years. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances of high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials for advanced SIBs, systematically analyze the conflicts of structural/electrochemical stability with intrinsic insufficiencies of cobalt-free cathode materials, and extensively discuss the strategies of constructing stable cobalt-free cathode materials by making full use of non-cobalt transition-metal elements and suitable crystal structures, all of which aim to provide insights into the key factors (e.g., phase transformation, particle cracks, crystal defects, lattice distortion, lattice oxygen oxidation, morphology, transition-metal migration/dissolution, and the synergistic effects of composite structures) that can determine the stability of cobalt-free cathode materials, provide guidelines for future research, and stimulate more interest on constructing high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials.

Abstract
The increasing demand to efficiently store and utilize the electricity from renewable energy resources in a sustainable way has boosted the request for sodium-ion battery technology due to the high abundance of sodium sources worldwide. Na superionic conductor (NASICON) structured cathodes with a robust polyanionic framework have been intriguing because of their open 3D structure and superior thermal stability. The ever-increasing demand for higher energy densities with NASICON-structured cathodes motivates us to activate multielectron reactions, thus utilizing the third sodium ion toward higher voltage and larger capacity, both of which have been the bottlenecks for commercializing sodium-ion batteries. A doping strategy with Cr inspired by first-principles calculations enables the activation of multielectron redox reactions of the redox couples V2+/V3+, V3+/V4+, and V4+/V5+, resulting in remarkably improved energy density even in comparison to the layer structured oxides and Prussian blue analogues. This work also comprehensively clarifies the role of the Cr dopant during sodium storage and the valence electron transition process of both V and Cr. Our findings highlight the importance of a broadly applicable doping strategy for achieving multielectron reactions of NASICON-type cathodes with higher energy densities in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated vanadium/zinc metal-organic frameworks (V/Zn-MOFs) derived from self-assembled metal organic frameworks, to further disperse ultrasmall Zn2VO4 nanoparticles and encapsulate them in a nitrogen-doped nanocarbon network (ZVO/NC) under in situ pyrolysis. When employed as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, ZVO/NC delivers a high reversible capacity (807 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1) and excellent rate performance (372 mAh g-1 at 8.0 A g-1). Meanwhile, when used in sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits long-term cycling stability (7000 cycles with 145 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1). Additionally, when employed in potassium-ion batteries, it also shows outstanding electrochemical performance with reversible capacities of 264 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and 140 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 for 1000 cycles. The mechanism by which the pseudocapacitive behaviour of ZVO/NC enhances battery performance under a suitable electrolyte was probed, which offers useful enlightenment for the potential development of anodes of alkali-ion batteries. The performance of Zn2VO4 as an anode for SIBs/PIBs was investigated for the first time. This work provides a new horizon in the design ZVO/NC as a promising anode material owing to the intrinsically synergic effects of mixed metal species and the multiple valence states of V.

Abstract
The new compounds NaMV2(PO4)3 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) were synthesized via a sol-gel synthesis route, and their crystal structures were refined using the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. NaCoV2(PO4)3 was also characterized by TGA, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic cycling. The three phases crystallize with the orthorhombic symmetry and the space group Imma. The structures are isotypic to the stuffed α-CrPO4-type structure and contain two vacant sites in which two sodium atoms can be intercalated. When NaCoV2(PO4)3 is cycled at a 1C rate in the voltage ranges of 0.1-3 and 0.7-3 V vs Na+/Na, it delivers specific capacities of 190 and 75 mA h/g, respectively, with an average operation potential of ∼1.4 V. This attests to the electrochemical activity of this compound and indicates that the α-CrPO4-type compounds could be suitable for hosting other guest ions.

Abstract
Polyanion-type phosphate materials are highly promising cathode candidates for next-generation batteries due to their excellent structural stability during cycling; however, their poor conductivity has impeded their development. Isostructural and multivalent anion substitution combined with carbon coating is proposed to greatly improve the electrochemical properties of phosphate cathode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Specifically, multivalent tetrahedral SiO4 4- substitute for PO4 3- in Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP) lattice, preparing the optimal Na3.1 V2 (PO4 )2.9 (SiO4 )0.1 with high-rate capability (delivering a high capacity of 82.5 mAh g-1 even at 20 C) and outstanding cyclic stability (≈98% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 C). Theoretical calculation and experimental analyses reveal that the anion-substituted Na3.1 V2 (PO4 )2.9 (SiO4 )0.1 reduces the bandgap of NVP lattice and enhanced its structural stability, Na+ -diffusion kinetics and electronic conductivity. This strategy of multivalent and isostructural anion substitution chemistry provides a new insight to develop advanced phosphate cathodes.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) is one of the most promising candidates for use as cathodes in room-temperature sodium ion batteries owing to its high structural stability and rapid Na+ transportation kinetics. The cationic doping of foreign ions at Na or V sites in the NVP lattice has proven to be an effective approach for enhancing the electrochemical performance of NVP. In this work, we present a first-principles density functional theory investigation of the impact of polyanionic boron doping at P sites on the structural and electrochemical behavior of NVP. Our simulation results suggest that B doping considerably increases the structural stability of NVP while shrinking its lattice size to some extent. Since B donates far fewer electrons to connected O atoms, the surrounding V atoms become more positive, causing the operating voltage to increase with B content. However, the reduction in lattice size is not beneficial for the Na+ transportation kinetics. As demonstrated by a search for the transition state, a concerted ion-exchange mechanism is preferred for Na+ transportation, and increased B doping leads to a higher Na+ diffusion barrier. Improvements in electrochemical performance due to B doping see (Hu et al. Adv Sci 3(12):1600112, 2016) appear to originate mainly from the resulting increased electrical conductivity.

Abstract
Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are receiving increasing interest in energy storage fields because of their safety and versatility. However, the electrocatalytic activity of the electrode is a pivotal factor that still restricts the power and cycling capabilities of VRFBs. Here, a hierarchical carbon micro/nanonetwork (HCN) electrode codoped with nitrogen and phosphorus is prepared for application in VRFBs by cross-linking polymerization of aniline and physic acid, and subsequent pyrolysis on graphite felt. Due to the hierarchical electron pathways and abundant heteroatom active sites, the HCN exhibits superior electrocatalysis toward the vanadium redox couples and imparts the VRFBs with an outstanding energy efficiency and extraordinary stability after 2000 cycles at 250 mA cm-2 and a discharge capacity of 10.5 mA h mL-1 at an extra-large current density of 400 mA cm-2. Such a micro/nanostructure design will force the advancement of durable and high-power VRFBs and other electrochemical energy storage devices.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries meet the demand for large-scale energy storage, such as in electric vehicles, due to the material abundance of sodium. In this report, nanotube-type Na2V3O7 is proposed as a cathode material because of its fast sodium diffusivity, an important requirement for sodium ion batteries, through the investigation of ~4300 candidates via a high-throughput computation. High-rate performance was confirmed, showing ~65% capacity retention at a current density of 10C at room temperature, despite the large particle size of >5 μm. A good cycle performance of ca. 94% in capacity retention after 50 cycles was obtained owing to a small volumetric change of <0.4%.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), owning to the low cost, abundant resources, and similar physicochemical properties with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), have earned much attention for large-scale energy storage systems. In this article, we successfully synthesize flexible freestanding carbon nanofiber-embedded TiO2 nanoparticles (CNF-TiO2) and then apply it directly as anode in SIBs without binder or current collector. Taking the advantage of flexible CNF and high structural stability, this anode exhibits high reversible capacity of 614 mAh·g-1 (0.27 mAh·cm-2) after almost 400 cycles and excellent capacity retention ability of ~100.

Abstract
The applicability of C44, B22N22, Ge44, and Al22P22 nanocages, as well as variants of those nanocages with an adsorbed halogen atom, as high-performance anode materials in Li-ion, Na-ion, and K-ion batteries was investigated theoretically via density functional theory. The results obtained indicate that, among the nanocages with no adsorbed halogen atom, Al22P22 would be the best candidate for a novel anode material for use in metal-ion batteries. Calculations also suggest that K-ion batteries which utilize these nanocages as anode materials would give better performance and would yield higher cell voltages than the corresponding Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes. Also, the results for the nanocages with an adsorbed halogen atom imply that employing them as anode materials would lead to higher cell voltages and better metal-ion battery performance than if the nanocages with no adsorbed halogen atom were to be used as anode materials instead. Results further implied that nanocages with an adsorbed F atom would give higher cell voltages and better battery performance than nanocages with an adsorbed Cl or Br atom. We were ultimately able to conclude that a K-ion battery that utilized Al21P22 with an adsorbed F atom as its anode material would afford the best metal-ion battery performance; we therefore propose this as a novel highly efficient metal-ion battery. Graphical abstract The results of a theoretical investigation indicated that Al22P22 is a better candidate for a high-performance anode material in metal-ion batteries than Ge44 is. Calculations also showed that K-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes would produce higher cell voltages and perform better than the equivalent Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes, and that anodes based on nanocages with an adsorbed F atom would perform better than anodes based on nanocages with an adsorbed Cl or Br atom.

Abstract
It has been recently indicated that the Li-ion batteries may be replaced by Na-ion batteries because of their low safety, high cost, and low-temperature performance, and lack of the Li mineral reserves. Here, using density functional theory calculations, we studied the potential application of B12N12 nanoclusters as anode in Na-ion batteries. Our calculations indicate that the adsorption energy of Na+ and Na are about -23.4 and -1.4kcal/mol, respectively, and the pristine BN cage to improve suffers from a low cell voltage (∼0.92V) as an anode in Na-ion batteries. We presented a strategy to increase the cell voltage and performance of Na-ion batteries. We showed that encapsulation of different halides (X=F-, Cl-, or Br-) into BN cage significantly increases the cell voltage. By increasing the atomic number of X, the Gibbs free energy change of cell becomes more negative and the cell voltage is increased up to 3.93V. The results are discussed based on the structural, energetic, frontier molecular orbital, charge transfer and electronic properties and compared with the performance of other nanostructured anodes.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries, representative members of the post-lithium-battery club, are very attractive and promising for large-scale energy storage applications. The increasing technological improvements in sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion batteries) are being driven by the demand for Na-based electrode materials that are resource-abundant, cost-effective, and long lasting. Polyanion-type compounds are among the most promising electrode materials for Na-ion batteries due to their stability, safety, and suitable operating voltages. The most representative polyanion-type electrode materials are Na3V2(PO4)3 and NaTi2(PO4)3 for Na-based cathode and anode materials, respectively. Both show superior electrochemical properties and attractive prospects in terms of their development and application in Na-ion batteries. Carbonophosphate Na3MnCO3PO4 and amorphous FePO4 have also recently emerged and are contributing to further developing the research scope of polyanion-type Na-ion batteries. However, the typical low conductivity and relatively low capacity performance of such materials still restrict their development. This paper presents a brief review of the research progress of polyanion-type electrode materials for Na-ion batteries, summarizing recent accomplishments, highlighting emerging strategies, and discussing the remaining challenges of such systems.
