Background
The use of sodium-ion batteries is gaining pace in the battery industry. The accessibility of low cost, resources, and environmentally friendly nature of the majority of the sodium-ion battery chemistries are without a doubt the most important factors driving this uptick. Numerous research projects to find alternate anode materials for sodium-ion batteries have been launched.
Despite the fact that many alternatives such as bismuth, tin, and phosphorus are tested with promising results, hard…
