Moving Beyond 99.9% Coulombic Efficiency for Anode‐Free Sodium Metal Battery

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Iron‐anchored carbon nanotubes (CNT‐Fe) are developed as a 3D sodiophilic host for anode‐free sodium metal batteries. The Fe nanoparticles significantly enhance sodium adsorption and ensure uniform deposition, enabling an exceptional 99.9% Coulombic efficiency over 1100 cycles and long‐term stability in high‐loading full cells.
