Abstract

This article discusses 95[35Na2O–65Bi2O3]: 5GeO2 glass–ceramic anode material system (labeled as GC-NBG5.0), which was heat-treated between Tg (transition temperature) and Tc (crystallization temperature) for various regimes to address severe issues with Na-ion battery technology, including poor reversible capacity, electrical conductivity, and safety (0 h, 5 h, 8 h, 12 h, and 15 h). Na3Bi and NaGe intermediate domains are present in GC-NBG5.0 glass–ceramic anode material after a 12-h heat-treating regime between Tg and Tc. NBG5.0-12 h glass–ceramic anode delivers the best specific discharge capacity at 485 mA h/g, measured at 50 mA/g over a longer cycle time, which is not inferior to conventional graphite anode. The lowest cycle-dependent complex impedance characteristics (Rct and Zw) and a constant reversible specific discharge capacity of 442 mA h/g, however, still support the cell design even after 3000 cycles.
