Abstract
Room-temperature sodium–sulfur (RT Na–S) batteries have emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation scalable energy storage systems, due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and natural abundance. However, the practical applications of these batteries are hindered by the notorious shuttle effect of soluble sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) and sluggish reaction kinetics, which result in fast performance loss. To address this issue, recent studies have reported impressive achievements of transition metal nanoparticles/single atoms/cluster/compounds (TM)-based host materials with strong adsorption and catalyzation to NaPSs. These materials can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of RT Na–S batteries. In this review, the recent progress on TM-based host materials for RT Na–S batteries, including iron (Fe)-, cobalt (Co)-, nickel (Ni)-, molybdenum (Mo)-, titanium (Ti)-, vanadium (V)-, manganese (Mn)-, and other TM-based materials are summarized. The design, fabrication, and properties of these host materials are comprehensively summarized and systematically analyzed the underlying chemical inhibition and electrocatalysis mechanism between NaPSs and TM-based catalytic materials. At last, the challenges and prospects for designing efficient TM-based catalytic materials for high-performance RT Na–S batteries are discussed.
