Glycerol Electrolytes for Safer and More Sustainable Sodium Ion Batteries

ZGZachary T. GossageTokyo University of Science TFTeppei FuruichiTokyo University of Science THTomooki HosakaTokyo University of Science

Key Points

The aim is to develop safer and more sustainable electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries using glycerol.
Mixed glycerol with Na[N(SO2F)2] to create new electrolytes.
Tested the performance of glycerol-based electrolytes in battery applications.
Compared with traditional carbonate solvents to assess benefits.
Glycerol-based electrolytes showed improved safety profiles compared to carbonate solvents.
Demonstrated cost-effectiveness due to glycerol's low price.
Promised sustainability benefits for sodium-ion battery applications.

Abstract

To replace toxic and flammable carbonate solvents used in sodium-ion batteries, we demonstrate the first glycerol-based electrolytes for battery applications. Extremely low-cost glycerol was mixed with NaN(SO2F)2 (NaFSA) up to...
