Recent research progresses in ether‐ and ester‐based electrolytes for sodium‐ion batteries

Owing to the natural abundance and low cost of sodium resources, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have drawn considerable attention for state‐of‐the‐art power storage devices over the last few years. To enable advanced SIBs with a brighter future, great effort has been made, not only through optimizing the electrode materials, but also with rationally designing various electrolyte systems. Among the available electrolyte systems, organic electrolytes, especially those based on esters as well as ethers, are the most promising ones for practical application in the foreseeable future, due to their numerous inherent advantages. This review is concerned with the recent research progresses on organic electrolytes for SIBs, focusing on ether‐based and ester‐based ones.
