High-voltage sodium metal batteries (SMBs) offer a viable way toward high energy densities. However, they synchronously place severe demands on the electrolyte for the notorious reactivity of Na-metal and the catalytic nature of aggressive high-voltage chemistries. Here, we fabricate a tailored carb...
