Abstract

This chapter provides a brief history and recent developments in Na-ion batteries. Currently, Li-ion batteries have exhibited many branches based on their active materials, performing various applications. The abundance of materials is a straightforward reason for considering sodium ions as the charge carriers in secondary rechargeable batteries. The Na-ion batteries with organic electrolytes are state-of-the-art technology. The development of renewable and environment-friendly organic-electrolyte-based Na-ion batteries has attracted researchers’ attention in the past decade. Generally, it is well-known that graphite intercalation compounds exhibit planar carbon-honeycomb symmetries and well-characterized intercalant distributions, especially for metal atoms or even for large molecule ones. Pristine graphene, a single carbon-honeycomb crystal, is a well-known semiconductor with zero density of states at the Fermi level. Safety and performance are important in using retired power batteries, i.e., repurposing batteries.
