Superior electrochemical performance of sodium-ion full-cell …
For newer full-cell architectures like sodium-ion batteries, it behooves us to check to what degree CIC prediction works in predicting full-cell capacity decay. If assumptions (A), (B), (C) are tenable, the actual full-cell capacity decay should be worse than the CIC prediction, since there are other parallel mechanisms of battery degradation ...

Sodium is the major cation of extracellular fluid [ECF 2 (1 mmol, or molar equivalent, corresponding to 23 mg of sodium)]. The mean body content of sodium in the adult male is 92 g, half of which (46 g) is located in the ECF at a concentration of 135–145 mmol/L, ∼11 g is found in the intracellular fluid at the concentration of ∼10 mmol/L, and …
Sodium is the primary cation (positively charged ion) in extracellular fluids in animals and humans. These fluids, such as blood plasma and extracellular fluids in other tissues, bathe cells and carry out transport functions for nutrients and wastes.
Physiologic Role. Sodium ion (Na+) is the principal extracellular cation and solute, and is essential for generation of action potentials in nervous and cardiac tissue. Pathologic increases or decreases in total body Na + are associated with corresponding increases or decreases of extracellular volume (ECV) and plasma volume (PV).
