Description:About the Seminar:\n\nSodium-ion batteries (SIBs) present a pro
 mising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by reducing reliance on
  critical materials like Li\, Ni\, and Co\, while still fulfilling energy 
 storage needs. Research into electrodes for NIBs is critical for long term
  development and commercialization. A significant challenge to commerciali
 zation is the loss of Na ions to the solid electrolyte interface (SEI). Th
 e SEI affects specific capacity\, stability of the electrode\, and battery
  lifetime. Presodiation treatments can help mitigate this irreversible Na 
 loss by adding Na ions into the electrode before cycling. Direct contact p
 resodiation is the most promising method due to its ease however it is dif
 ficult to control the degree of presodiation. This seminar will investigat
 e “Presodiation Strategies and Their Effect on Electrode−Electrolyte I
 nterphases for High-Performance Electrodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries”\, t
