Abstract

Recently, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted extensive attention as potential alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundance, even distribution, low cost, and environmentally friendly nature of sodium. However, sodium ions are larger than lithium ions so that the anode materials of LIBs are not suitable for SIBs. Therefore, many negative electrode materials have been investigated. Among them, Sb₂S₃-based nanomaterials have gradually become a research focus due to their high theoretical specific capacity, good thermal stability, simple preparation, and low price. In this review, the research progress of Sb₂S₃-based nanomaterials in the SIB field in recent years is summarized, including Sb₂S₃, Sb₂S₃/carbon composites, Sb₂S₃/graphene composites, and Sb₂S₃/M_xS_y composites. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for the development of Sb₂S₃-based nanomaterials are also put forward. We hope this review will contribute to the design and manufacture of high-performance SIBs and promote its practical application.

Keywords: Sb2S3-based nanomaterials; anode materials; composites; electrochemical performance; sodium-ion batteries.
