The paper "Comprehensive analysis and mitigation strategies for safety issues of sodium-ion batteries" by Tao Wei, Xiao-Ling Xian, Shi-Xue Dou, Wei Chen, and Shu-Lei Chou addresses the significant safety concerns that hinder the widespread adoption of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The authors analyze key factors and mechanisms leading to safety issues, including thermal runaway, sodium dendrite formation, internal short circuits, and gas release. They propose several solutions, such as using high-safety electrode materials, advanced electrolytes, and external battery management systems (BMS). The study emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate analysis methods and developing reliable failure models, while also suggesting the use of advanced machine learning tools for analysis. The paper highlights the potential of SIBs in large-scale energy storage and low-speed electric vehicles due to their low cost and high energy density, but underscores the need for robust safety measures to prevent performance degradation and safety incidents.The paper "Comprehensive analysis and mitigation strategies for safety issues of sodium-ion batteries" by Tao Wei, Xiao-Ling Xian, Shi-Xue Dou, Wei Chen, and Shu-Lei Chou addresses the significant safety concerns that hinder the widespread adoption of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).
