Limited by the development of energy storage technology, the utilization ratio of renewable energy is still at a low level. Lithium/sodium ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs) with high-performance electrochemical performances, such as large-scale energy storage, low costs and high security, are expected to improve the above situation. Currently, developing anode materials with better electrochemical performances is the main obstacle to the development of LIBs/SIBs. Recently, a variety of studies have focused on cobalt-based anode materials applied for LIBs/SIBs, owing to their high theoretical specific capacity. This review systematically summarizes the recent status of cobalt-based anode materials in LIBs/SIBs, including Li+/Na+ storage mechanisms, preparation methods, applications and strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of cobalt-based anode materials. Furthermore, the current challenges and prospects are also discussed in this review. Benefitting from these results, cobalt-based materials can be the next-generation anode for LIBs/SIBs.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for energy storage due to their low cost and the large abundance of sodium resources. The search for new anode materials for SIBs has become a vital approach to satisfying the ever-growing demands for better performance with higher energy/power densities, improved safety and a longer cycle life. Recently, antimony (Sb) has been extensively researched as a promising candidate due to its high specific capacity through an alloying/dealloying process. In this review article, we will focus on different categories of the emerging Sb based anode materials with distinct sodium storage mechanisms including Sb, two-dimensional antimonene and antimony chalcogenide (Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3). For each part, we emphasize that the novel construction of an advanced nanostructured anode with unique structures could effectively improve sodium storage properties. We also highlight that sodium storage capability can be enhanced through designing advanced nanocomposite materials containing Sb based materials and other carbonaceous modification or metal supports. Moreover, the recent advances in operando/in-situ investigation of its sodium storage mechanism are also summarized. By providing such a systematic probe, we aim to stress the significance of novel nanostructures and advanced compositing that would contribute to enhanced sodium storage performance, thus making Sb based materials as promising anodes for next-generation high-performance SIBs.

Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are being billed as an economical and environmental alternative to lithium ion batteries (LIBs), especially for medium and large-scale stationery and grid storage. However, SIBs suffer from lower capacities, energy density and cycle life performance. Therefore, in order to be more efficient and feasible, novel high-performance electrodes for SIBs need to be developed and researched. This review aims to provide an exhaustive discussion about the state-of-the-art in novel high-performance anodes and cathodes being currently analyzed, and the variety of advantages they demonstrate in various critically important parameters, such as electronic conductivity, structural stability, cycle life, and reversibility.
