Releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere because of widespread use of fossil fuels by humankind has resulted in raising the earth’s temperature during the past few decades. Known as global warming, increasing the earth’s temperature may in turn endanger civilization on the earth by starting a cycle of environmental changes including climate change and sea level rise. Therefore, replacing fossil fuels with more sustainable energy resources has been considered as one of the main strategies to tackle the global warming crisis. In this regard, energy saving devices are required to store the energy from sustainable resources like wind and solar when they are available and deliver them on demand. Moreover, developing plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) as an alternative for internal combustion engines has been extensively pursued, since a major sector of fossil fuels is used for transportation purposes. However, currently available battery systems fail to meet the required demands for energy storage.

钠氧电池的最新进展：化学观点

由于人类广泛使用化石燃料，将温室气体释放到大气中已导致过去几十年来地球温度升高。被称为全球变暖的地球温度升高可能会通过启动包括气候变化和海平面上升在内的一系列环境变化而反过来危害地球上的文明。因此，以更可持续的能源替代化石燃料已被认为是解决全球变暖危机的主要策略之一。在这方面，要求节能装置在可用时存储来自风能和太阳能等可持续资源的能量，并按需提供。此外，开发插电式电动汽车（PEV）作为内燃机的替代品已得到了广泛的追求，因为化石燃料的主要领域用于运输目的。但是，当前可用的电池系统不能满足能量存储的要求。
