Batteries 2022, 8, 127 11 of 13 References The improvement observed in most cases in the presence of the SO2-based additives is attributed to both the favorable interaction of the additive molecules with the sodium ions and the specific adsorption of the sulfur-containing molecule on the metal surface, which promote sodium deposition. In addition, the formation of an SEI on the sodium surface should be considered. In the case of SO2 as an additive, Na2S2O4 (Equation (5)) is expected to be the main component of the SEI, while RSO3Na and Na2SO3 would be present when sulfolane is added (Equation (6)). Further investigation is underway to confirm some of these hypotheses. Finally, it is remarkable that both sulfur-based additives could be employed in the formulation of new organic electrolytes for sodium metal batteries, using either a sodium metal anode or an anode-free configuration. The additive mole fractions needed are relatively low, thus avoiding the main drawbacks of these compounds when used as solvents: corrosivity and high volatility (in the case of SO2) and high viscosity (in the case of sulfolane). From a practical perspective, it should also be considered that sulfolane can be handled more easily than SO2, which is a gas under normal conditions. In addition, the partial pressure of the additive in equilibrium with the electrolyte is much lower for sulfolane, favoring the stability of the solution under a wider range of conditions (relatively high temperatures).
