Na–Ge glass anode network mixed with bismuth oxide nanocrystallites: A high capacity anode material for use in advanced sodium-ion battery design

Exploring the growing phenomenon of amorphous intermediate domains at nanoscale and its application as flexible active centres in a glass anode network is decisively significant to enhance sodium-ion battery performance. The outstanding stability of nanosized h-Na3Bi and NaGe domains in the glass anode network makes it more electrochemically efficient and increases its ionic conductivity. Subsequently, improved cycle stability and rate...
