As the world transitions towards sustainable energy solutions, the demand for efficient, cost effective and abundant energy storage systems is escalating. Sodium-ion batteries (SIB) emerge as a compelling alternative to the widely applied lithium-ion battery (LIB), primarily due to the ample and low-cost nature of sodium . Since lithium resources (and other elements necessary for LIBs) are limited and geopolitically restricted, the need for a more readily available and environmentally benign option is critical . SIBs not only promise a reduction in material cost but also exhibit significant potential for large-scale energy storage applications, essential for balancing renewable energy sources like solar and wind . Their continued development could play a pivotal role in addressing the global energy crisis, fostering energy security, and promoting a greener future.
