Sodium (Na)-ion batteries are considered as alternative to Li-ion batteries. Sodium is abundance in the earth*s crust and the distribution of sodium mineral salts is widespread. In this work, we present a combined in situ surfaced-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (in situ SERS) and density functional theory (DFT) study on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer over the surface of Sn anodes in Na-ion batteries. Our in situ SERS measurements show that the main components of the SEI layer during Na-ion insertion/extraction are Na2O (peaks around 479 cm-1 and 597 cm-1) and Na2CO3 (peak around 1080 cm-1). Afterwards, we will discuss our DFT results on electronic and atomic structure as well as the mechanism of Na diffusion through Na2O and Na2CO3.
