Abstract: 

Solid-state sodium batteries (SSSBs) hold great promise for the development of safe, low-cost energy storage devices. Developing solid electrolyte (SE) materials with high ionic conductivity, high chemical and electrochemical stability, as well as good mechanical properties is the most critical step. As a promising category of SEs, halide-based solid electrolytes combine good ionic conductivity and good electrochemical stability, and they have been already widely studied for their use in lithium-based solid-state batteries. In contrast, knowledge of their sodium analogues is still limited. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of halide SEs for sodium ion conduction with a perspective of both experimental and theoretical studies, including the correlation of structure and properties; sodium ion conductivity and diffusivity; as well as compatibility with electrode materials. We hope this perspective can stimulate more research in developing halide-based SSSBs.

Halide solid electrolytes (SEs) are emerging candidates for solid state batteries owing to the combination of high ionic conductivity and superior oxidation stability. In this review, the state-of-the-art studies towards sodium-based halide SEs are comprehensively discussed, based on several successful examples. The discussion covers crystal structure, ionic conductivity, ion migration mechanism, and applications in practical sodium solid state batteries. image
