Abstract: With the upsurge of the energy revolution, secondary battery as a new way of energy storage has been widely concerned owing to their efficient energy conversion. As we all know, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have high operating voltage and high energy density, they can be used in various application scenarios, such as electrical vehicles (EV), portable electronic devices, and large-scale energy storage systems. However, due to the shortage of lithium resources and rising prices of raw materials, many battery companies are observed to undergo cost pressure and bankruptcy risk. Given this, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) work similarly to lithium-ion batteries, but they have great advantages in terms of resource reserve, low cost, low temperature, rate performance, and safety, thus have received strong attention from researchers and engineers. In the sodium-ion battery system, it is also composed of the positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte, separator, and other key components. The electrolyte, as the intermediate bridge connecting the positive and negative electrode material system, plays a vital role to undertake the transport of sodium ions, which mainly consists of organic solvent, sodium salt, and additives. The introduction of a small number of functional additives can significantly improve the overall performance of the battery because it constructs a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) between electrolyte and electrode. Different kinds of additives can exhibit specific properties to meet different conditions. This review focuses on the use of electrolyte additives, including unsaturated carbonates, sulfur compounds, phosphorus compounds, silicon compounds, inorganic sodium salts, and other types of components. Meanwhile, the research progress and related mechanisms of this addition agent in the electrolyte of sodium-ion batteries in recent years were summarized as a reference for subsequent research. Finally, the future study of electrolyte additives prospects from the science idea and practical application, for example, density functional theory, AI for science, and in-situ analysis method for SIBs.
