报告摘要：

Na based energy storage technologies have been of great interest especially for a large-scale energy storage system because Na is abundant and easily accessible. Even with these advantages, the Na-based energy storage technology have much lower energy density than Li-based one because Na is much heavier than Li and it shows lower working voltage than Li one. One of way to increase energy density in Na-based energy storage technology is the use of air as a reaction material. There are several approaches for reversibly operating Na-air cell but most of these approaches have been based on the pure oxygen rather than ambient air because the ambient air has a H₂O, CO₂ and so on in addition to pure oxygen and then easily forms carbonates as a reaction product rather than metal oxides.

In this talk, I discuss about the way to use the ambient air as a fuel in Na-based energy storage system by using Nasicon (Na₃Zr₂Si₂PO₁₂) solid electrolyte. Especially, I talk about how the solid electrolyte based Na-air cell activates reversible electrochemical carbonate reaction under ambient air and the working mechanism of solid electrolyte based Na-“ambient air”.
