Recent progress in the development of glass and glass-ceramic cathode/solid electrolyte materials for next-generation high capacity all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries: A review

The lithium-ion battery (LIB) has been the dominant technology in the rechargeable energy storage market for more than twenty years. However, to meet the increasing need for electric vehicles, stationary electricity storage, and portable electronics, there is an emerging demand for alternative battery technologies. One promising candidate is an all-solid-state sodium-ion battery (ASSSIB) that can provide high power density with good safety and cycle durability, making it a potential next-generation battery technology. Recently the development of glass and glass-ceramic cathode/solid electrolytes showed specific interest in developing all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries (ASSIBs) due to optimization of their crystalline structure for fast Na+ ion diffusion, high cycle performance, excellent thermal stability, high electronic and ionic conductivity. Until now, there are no reports on the research progress in the development of ASSIBs based on glass or glass-ceramic cathode/solid electrolyte. The challenges and opportunities associated with these glass and glass-ceramic systems are reviewed in this paper. In addition, this review will focus on a better understanding of glass and glass-ceramic electrode and electrolyte materials for used to development of ASSIBs.
