10Effective Strategies to Restrain Dendrite Growth of Na Metal Anodes

10.1 Introduction

Nowadays, rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices since the first commercialization in 1991, due to its magnificent advantages like high energy density, no memory effect, and little self‐discharge [1]. However, the limited abundance of lithium sources (0.0065%) is not conducive to the rapid increasing need of super‐large‐scale energy storage devices in the future [2]. As the same group element (Group IA), sodium element shares similar physical and chemical properties with lithium in many aspects. What is more, sodium sources are rich (2.8%) and worldwide availability. Therefore, ...
