The following distinctions between full and half cells will be discussed: sodium-ion donors, capacity matching, assessment indicators, and so forth. 2.1 Sodium-ion donors. Generally, in half cells, a sodium foil supplies sufficient detached sodium for continuous cycling, which can replenish the consumed Na ions caused by the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and

However, surprisingly, when employing the conventional half-cell testing metric, hard carbon sometimes failed to impress. 1,11 It was later revealed that in half cells, the sodium metal counter-electrode incurs large impedance, which often leads to an overly pessimistic indication of half-cell performance, underutilizing
Furthermore, we demonstrated the difference in rate performance between half-cell and full-cell test protocols and proved that the same hard carbon would actually exhibit much more satisfactory rate performance in sodium-matched full-cell tests, due to a deficiency of the more commonly used half-cell testing protocol with a rigid 0 V cutoff.
