  • Patent number: 10622665
    Abstract: A method of operating a rechargeable sodium ion cell, wherein the cell comprises an anode material which is a disordered carbon and a nickel-containing sodium oxide cathode material comprises: in a formation charge phase, charging the cell to a first voltage at which sodium is irreversibly liberated from the cathode material; and in a subsequent charge-discharge cycle, charging the cell to a second voltage lower than the first voltage. The voltage to which the cell is charged in the formation charge phase may be selected such that the amount of sodium irreversibly liberated from the cathode material in the formation charge phase substantially equals the amount of sodium deposited in a surface electrolyte layer on the anode in the formation charge phase.
