Self‐Regulating Sodium‐Ion Battery Materials: From Phase Reconstruction to Functional Activation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Self‐regulating sodium‐ion batteries hinge on programmable phase behavior in layered oxides, interphases that renew without growth, and electrolytes that steer solvation and chemistry. This review distills mechanisms into design rules that span composition, site and entropy tuning, and self‐buffering anodes, linking operando evidence to choices and ...
