Conducting Polymers for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Conducting Polymers for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Suzhe Liang, Yonggao Xia, Peter Müller-Buschbaum, Ya-Jun Cheng

Sodium-ion batteries are regarded as the most promising substitute of lithium-ion batteries in the future, due to the low cost and sustainability. The appropriate electrode material is the key to achieve commercialization of sodium-ion batteries. Conducting polymers can be applied on both cathodes and anodes separately or as a component of the composite, because of the good conductivity and flexibility. In this chapter, the recent progress of conducting polymer applied in SIBs will be reviewed. There will be two main parts focused on cathodes and anodes, respectively.
