You have full access to this open access article The development of sodium-ion (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) has increased rapidly because of the abundant resources and cost-effectiveness of Na and K. Antimony (Sb) plays an important role in SIBs and PIBs because of its high theoretical capacity, proper working voltage, and low cost.
In a lead-acid battery, antimony alloyed into the grid for the positive electrode may corrode and end up in the electrolyte solution that is ultimately deposited onto the negative electrode. Here, it catalyzes the evolution of hydrogen, which lowers charging efficiency and raises self-discharge activity .
Among various anode materials, elements that alloy and dealloy with lithium are assumed to be prospective in bringing higher capacities and increasing the energy density of DIBs. In this work, antimony in the form of a composite with carbon (Sb−C) is evaluated as an anode material for DIB full cells for the first time.
Antimony is a chemical element that could find new life in the cathode of a liquid-metal battery design. Cost is a crucial variable for any battery that could serve as a viable option for renewable energy storage on the grid.
In this study, the recent progress of Sb-based materials including elemental Sb nano-structures, intermetallic Sb alloys and Sb chalcogenides for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries are introduced in detail along with their electrode mechanisms, synthesis, design strategies and electrochemical performance.
