“…Current research works on cathode candidates mainly include sodium‐based metal oxides, polyanionic compounds (phosphate, pyrophosphate, fluorophosphate, sulfate, etc. ), organic compounds, and Prussian blue analogues . Among them, sodium‐containing metal oxides with layered and tunnel structure can deliver higher specific capacity than polyanionic compounds and organic compounds.…”

renewable energy is imperative and of great significance for human beings. As the ideal alternatives, green energy sources including wind, solar energy, water, and tide power have been widely applied in modern industry successfully, but their intermittent and variability feature cannot support all-weather utilization. [3][4][5] Hence, developing high-efficiency energy storage and conversion technology is a powerful measure to solve the above problems. Currently, there has been great interest in developing/refining high-performance electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices such as batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Among various EES technologies, secondary rechargeable batteries (e.g., lead-acid batteries, Ni-Cd batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium/sodium ion batteries) have been extensively studied and play an important role in modern electronics and transportation. [6] Typically, since the successful commercialization of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by Sony in 1991, we have entered into an era of LIBs due to their high working voltage, long cycles, low self-discharge, large energy density, and low maintenance. [7] After rapid development over the past decades, the fabrication techniques and performance of LIBs have made great progress and matured significantly to be used as main power source for sophisticated electronics, [8] hybrid electric vehicles, and pure electric vehicles. [1,9] However, the high Scrupulous design and smart hybridization of bespoke electrode materials are of great importance for the advancement of sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Graphene-based nanocomposites are regarded as one of the most promising electrode materials for SIBs due to the outstanding physicochemical properties of graphene and positive synergetic effects between graphene and the introduced active phase. In this review, the recent progress in graphene-based electrode materials for SIBs with an emphasis on the electrode design principle, different preparation methods, and mechanism, characterization, synergistic effects, and their detailed electrochemical performance is summarized. General design rules for fabrication of advanced SIB materials are also proposed. Additionally, the merits and drawbacks of different fabrication methods for graphene-based materials are briefly discussed and summarized. Furthermore, multiscale forms of graphene are evaluated to optimize electrochemical performance of SIBs, ranging from 0D graphene quantum dots, 2D vertical graphene and reduced graphene oxide sheets, to 3D graphene aerogel and graphene foam networks. To conclude, the challenges and future perspectives on the development of graphene-based materials for SIBs are also presented.

With the unprecedentedly increasing demand for renewable and clean energy sources, the sodium‐ion battery (SIB) is emerging as an alternative or complementary energy storage candidate to the present commercial lithium‐ion battery due to the abundance and low cost of sodium resources. Layered transition metal oxides and Prussian blue analogs are reviewed in terms of their commercial potential as cathode materials for SIBs. The recent progress in research on their half cells and full cells for the ultimate application in SIBs are summarized. In addition, their electrochemical performance, suitability for scaling up, cost, and environmental concerns are compared in detail with a brief outlook on future prospects. It is anticipated that this review will inspire further development of layered transition metal oxides and Prussian blue analogs for SIBs, especially for their emerging commercialization.

“…However, their sensitivity to moisture greatly hinders large-scale manufacturing, regardless of their crystal structure as P2 or O3. [9][10][11][12][13] For the negative electrode (anode), titanium-based layered oxides (Na x TiO 2 ) are the most widely investigated candidate for SIBs due to their appropriate working potentials, nontoxicity, and safety, e.g., Na 2/3 Co 1/3 Ti 2/3 O 2 , [14] Na 0.6 Cr 0.6 Ti 0.4 O 2 , [15] Na 0.66 Mg 0.34 Ti 0.66 O 2 , [16] Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Ti 0.67 O 2 , [17] etc. As shown in Figure 1b, it is worth noticing that most reported Ti-based anodes belong to P2-type, with rare occurrences of O3-type Ti-based layer compounds due to their challenging synthesis.…”

Layered transition metal (TM) oxides of the stoichiometry NaxMO2 (M = TM) have shown great promise in sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs); however, they are extremely sensitive to moisture. To date, most reported titanium‐based layered anodes exhibit a P2‐type structure. In contrast, O3‐type compounds are rarely investigated and their synthesis is challenging due to their higher percentage of unstable Ti3+ than the P2 type. Here, a pure phase and highly crystalline O3‐type Na0.73Li0.36Ti0.73O2 with high performance is successfully proposed in SIBs. This material delivers a reversible capacity of 108 mAh g−1 with a stable and safe potential of 0.75 V versus Na/Na+. In situ X‐ray diffraction reveals that this material does not undergo any phase transitions and exhibits a near‐zero volume change upon Na+ insertion/de‐insertion, which ensures exceptional long cycle life over 6000 cycles. Importantly, it is found that this O3‐Na0.73Li0.36Ti0.73O2 shows superior moisture stability, even when immersed into water, which are both elusive for conventional layered TM oxides in SIBs. It is believed that the small interlayer distance and high occupation of interlayer vacancy promise such unprecedented water stability.
