Problems solved by technology

However, problems such as the growth of Na dendrites, unstable interfaces, and volume changes of electrodes limit the development and application of metal Na anodes.
At present, some strategies for modifying metal sodium anodes have been reported, but the inventors found that most of the strategies have problems such as complex methods, high toxicity, and high cost
