Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries have attracted ever-increasing attention in the fields of low-speed electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems due to the advantages of abundant resources, low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness. As one of the important components of sodium-ion batteries, the electrolyte is responsible for ion transfer between the cathode and the anode, which has a significant impact on cycle life, high-rate, safety, and self-discharge performance of sodium-ion batteries. However, it is difficult for sodium-ion batteries to perform well at low temperatures due to the decrease in ionic conductivity, the poor compatibility between the electrolyte and the electrode, the increase of desolvating power, and the poor properties of the electrode/electrolyte interphase. In this paper, the new understanding of the Na⁺ solvation structure in the electrolyte and the electrode/electrolyte interphase in recent years are summarized. And the design strategies of low-temperature electrolyte based on H-bond network breakdown, weak solvation, rapid reaction kinetics, and anion intervention are systematically analyzed. Finally, it is pointed out that the key to improving the low-temperature performance of sodium-ion batteries from the perspective of electrolyte is to understand the relationship between the Na⁺ solvation structure, the electrode/electrolyte interface properties, and the low-temperature performance of electrolyte.
