Sodium metal batteries have garnered significant attention due to their high theoretical specific capacity, cost effectiveness, and abundant availability. However, the propensity for dendritic sodium formation, stemming from the highly reactive nature of the sodium metal surface, poses safety concerns, and the uncontrollable formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) leads to large cell impedance and battery failures. In this study, we present a novel approach where we have successfully developed a stable fluorinated artificial SEI layer on the sodium metal surface by employing various weight percentages of tin fluoride in a dimethyl carbonate solution, utilizing a convenient, cost-effective, and single-step method. The resulting fluoride-rich protective layer effectively stabilized the Na metal surfaces and significantly enhanced cycling stability. The engineered artificial SEI layer demonstrated an enhanced lifetime of Na metal symmetric cells of over 3.5 times, over 700 h at the current density of 0.25 mA/cm2, in cycling performance compared to the untreated sodium, which is attributed to the suppression of dendrite formation and the reduction of undesired SEI formation during high-current cycling.
