Abstract

Rechargeable sodium-air batteries have been the focus in the fields of batteries and energy storage recently, owing to their high specific energy density (1600 Wh?kg-1), an equilibrium discharge potential of 2.3 V and earth-abundant sodium element. However, research on sodium-air cells is still in an infant age and presents many scientific issues. Based on recently reported work and our own experience on sodium-based batteries, this review summarizes the research progress related to the critical scientific issues of secondary sodium-air batteries and the application prospect of sodium-air battery.
