Abstract Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are one of the most promising energy storage technologies that would overcome limitations current Li‐ion batteries, based on their low density (0.534 g cm −3 ), reduction potential (−3.04 V vs Standard Hydrogen Electrode) as well high theoretical capacities (3860 mAh −1 and 2061 ). The overall cell mass volume be reduced while both gravimetric volumetric densities greatly improved. Their electrochemical performance, however, is hampered by efficiency...

NaFePO4 is known as a promising intercalation cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. During the electrochemical reaction, an intermediate phase forms with composition close to Na≈2/3FePO4, whose crystal structure defined supercell that results from both Na/vacancy and charge ordering.

Abstract Sodium-ion batteries are well positioned to become, in the near future, energy storage system for stationary applications and light electromobility. However, two main drawbacks feed their underperformance, namely irreversible sodium consumption during solid electrolyte interphase formation low sodiation degree of one most promising cathode materials: P2-type layered oxides. Here, we show a scalable low-cost process based on thermal evaporation. This method tackles poor oxides, thus...
