Nature Energy, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-01995-x Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries are limited by slow ion movement in cathodes. Here the authors show that introducing solvent molecules into layered cathodes improves ion transport and reaction kinetics, enabling fast-charging batteries with stable long-term performance.
