Tin disulfide (SnS2) is regarded as one of the most suitable candidates as the electrode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the easy restacking and volume expansion properties of SnS2 during the charge/discharge process lead to the destruction of the electrode structure and a decrease in capacity. We successfully synthesized a SnS2 nanocrystalline-anchored three-dimensional porous graphene composite (SnS2/3DG) by combining hydrothermal and high-temperature reduction methods. The SnS2 nanocrystalline was uniformly dispersed within the connected reduced graphene oxide matrix. The SnS2/3DG battery showed a high reversible capacity of 430 mAh/g after 50 cycles at 100 mA/g. The SnS2/3DG composite showed an excellent rate capability with the current density increasing from 100 mA/g to 2 A/g. The excellent performance of the novel SnS2/3DG composite is attributed to the porous structure, which not only promoted the infiltration of electrolytes and hindered volume expansion for the porous structure, but also improved the conductivity of the whole electrode, demonstrating that the SnS2/3DG composite is a prospective anode for the next generation of sodium-ion batteries.

Recently, sodium ion batteries have attracted considerable interest for large-scale electric energy storage as an alternative to lithium ion batteries. However, the development of anode materials with long cycle life, high rate, and high reversible capacity is necessary for the advancement of sodium ion batteries. Bi anode is a promising candidate for sodium ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (385 mAh g–1 or 3800 mAh l–1) and high electrical conductivity (7.7 × 105 S m –1). Herein, we report the preparation of Bi anode using micro-sized commercial Bi particles. DME-based electrolyte was used, which is well known for its high ionic conductivity. The Bi anode showed excellent rate-capability up to 16 C-rate, and long cycle life stability with a high reversible capacity of 354 mAh g–1 at 16 C-rate for 50 cycles.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been regarded as one of the most competitive alternatives for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundance of sodium and comparable electrochemical characteristics of sodium to that of lithium. However, while highly desired, developing stable anode materials remains a critical challenge. In this work, the development of a stable anode for SIBs is reported, a poriferous nanoflake-assembled flower-like nickel tetraphosphide (PNAF-NP) with high surface area and typical mesoporous property. Due to the unique structure, the PANF-NP anode exhibits excellent reversible capacity of 648.34 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 98.67%, and superior cycling stability at 0.2 A g-1 with high retention capacity of 456.34 mAh g-1 and average Coulombic efficiency of 99.19% after 300 cycles. Moreover, the high reversible capacity of 614.43, 589.49, 512.66, and 432.23 mAh g-1 is achieved at 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 A g-1, respectively, indicating the superior rate capability of the PNAF-NP anode. This work represents a great advancement in the field of SIBs by reporting a high-performance anode material.

As a kind of common bio-waste, willow catkin is of no economic value. But it is surprising that it can be an ideal carbonaceous source and bio-template for electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Herein, we demonstrate that microtubular hard carbon can be derived from willow catkins and used as an anode of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The sample obtained from carbonization at 1000 °C delivers a high reversible capacity of 210 mAh g−1, good rate capability, and excellent cycling stability (112 mAh g−1 at 1000 mA g−1 after 1600 cycles) due to its unique tubular structure and the N-doping characteristic. The present work affords a new candidate for the production of hard carbon materials with tubular microstructure using natural biomass, and develops a highly promising anode material for SIBs.
