Abstract

Abstract: Intercalation‐based anode materials can be considered as the most promising anode candidates for large‐scale sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), owing to their long‐term cycling stability and environmental friendliness, as well as their natural abundance. Nevertheless, their low energy density, low initial coulombic efficiency, and poor cycling lifespan, as well as sluggish sodium diffusion dynamics are still the main issues for the application of intercalation‐based anode materials in SIBs in terms of meeting the benchmark requirements for commercialization. Over the past few years, tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the performance of SIBs. In this Review, recent progress in the development of intercalation‐based anode materials, including TiO2, Li4 Ti5 O12, Na2 Ti3 O7, and NaTi2 (PO4 )3, is summarized in terms of their sodium storage performance, critical issues, sodiation/desodiation behavior, and effective strategies to enhance their electrochemical performance. Additionally, challenges and perspectives are provided to further understand these intercalation‐based anode materials. Abstract : Happy Na‐ion : Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are the most promising substitutes for lithium‐ion batteries in large‐scale energy storage, owing to their low cost, moderate energy density, and long lifespan. Among anode materials for SIBs, intercalation‐based anode materials, such as TiO2, Li4 Ti5 O12, Na2 Ti3 O7, and NaTi2 (PO4 )3, have significant advantages, such as low cost, stable cycling life, high safety, and environmental friendliness.
