“…As the continuous innovation of electronic products and the improvement of user experience in them, the current commercial LIBs cannot satisfy the pressing demand for superior batteries with faster rate, larger capacity, better safety, and longer service life . In addition, owing to the low‐cost price and the abundance of sodium sources compared with lithium, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are raising more attention, especially for large‐scale energy storage …”

Niobium‐based oxides including Nb2O5, TiNbxO2+2.5x compounds, M–Nb–O (M = Cr, Ga, Fe, Zr, Mg, etc.) family, etc., as the unique structural merit (e.g., quasi‐2D network for Li‐ion incorporation, open and stable Wadsley– Roth shear crystal structure), are of great interest for applications in energy storage systems such as Li/Na‐ion batteries and hybrid supercapacitors. Most of these Nb‐based oxides show high operating voltage (>1.0 V vs Li+/Li) that can suppress the formation of solid electrolyte interface film and lithium dendrites, ensuring the safety of working batteries. Outstanding rate capability is impressive, which can be derived from their fast intercalation pseudocapacitive kinetics. However, the intrinsic poor electrical conductivity hinders their energy storage applications. Various strategies including structure optimization, surface engineering, and carbon modification are effectively used to overcome the issues. This review provides a comprehensive summary on the latest progress of Nb‐based oxides for advanced electrochemical energy storage applications. Major impactful work is outlined, promising research directions, and various performance‐optimizing strategies, as well as the energy storage mechanisms investigated by combining theoretical calculations and various electrochemical characterization techniques. In addition, challenges and perspectives for future research and commercial applications are also presented.

“…They have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Alloy‐type and conversion‐type anode materials show a high specific capacity but a dissatisfactory cycling stability; while intercalation‐type and adsorption‐type anodes deliver the lower specific capacity, but providing the other superiorities such as low volume expansion and superior cycling stability . How to combine the advantages of various type anodes to design high power, high energy, long cycling SIBs is still a key and challenging point at the moment.…”

Using synergetic effects of various sodium storage modes and materials to construct high power, high energy, and long cycling flexible sodium anode materials is significant and still challenging. Here, by advantageous functional integration of adsorption‐intercalation‐conversion sodium storage mechanisms, a 3D flexible fiber paper anode with the composition of Nb2O5@hard carbon@MoS2@soft carbon is designed and prepared. Based on the synergetic effects, it exhibits higher specific capacity than pure Nb2O5, with more excellent rate performance (245, 201, 155, 133, and 97 mAh g−1 at the current density of 0.2, 1, 5, 10, and 20 A g−1, respectively) than pure MoS2 as well as admirable long‐term cycling characteristics (≈82% capacity retention after 20 000 cycles at 5 A g−1). Relevant kinetics mechanisms are expounded in detail. This work can be helpful for preparing other types of hybrid and flexible electrodes for energy storage systems.

a viable alternative to more widespread lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This is because of low cost and ready availability of sodium. [4][5][6] However, the larger ionic radius of Na + (1.02 vs Li + 0.76 Å) leads to sluggish electrochemical kinetics, larger volume change, and unsatisfactory reversibility. Consequently, graphite, the commercial anode material of LIBs, cannot be directly used in SIBs because of suppressed electrochemical kinetics. [7,8] The development of an earth-abundant and low-cost anode material remains a significant research challenge to the fabrication of high-performance SIBs.Recently, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted attention as potential anode materials for SIBs due to their unique physical and chemical properties. [9][10][11] MoS 2 , a typical TMD, has been widely investigated because of its layered structure with large interlayerspacing (6.15 Å) that is beneficial to insertion/extraction of Na + . [12][13][14] However, conductivity and Na + diffusion is restricted by its semi-conducting 2H-phase and relatively large van der Waals interaction between adjacent layers. This results in poor electrochemical performance. 1T-MoS 2 with metallic conductivity and interlayer-expanded MoS 2 with reduced van der Waals interaction, have therefore been extensively studied. [15][16][17][18] However the fabrication of a stable 1T-MoS 2 together with extremely weak interlayer coupling via a facile and low-cost method has not been reported.Inspiringly, ReS 2 (rhenium disulfide) is a new TMD known to exhibit both distorted 1T (1T′) phase and extremely weak interlayer van der Waals interaction. [19][20][21][22][23] This makes it highly suitable for application to LIBs and SIBs. [24][25][26] The theoretical capacity of ReS 2 is 428 mAh g −1 . This value is based on the conversion reaction between one atom of ReS 2 and four of Li + or Na + . Despite these intrinsic structural advantages, a drawback is that, ReS 2 nanosheets suffer from irreversible structural change on deep charge-discharge processing. Additionally, it is reported that the direction of the largest volume expansion is along the out-of-plane. [27,28] This significantly impedes electrochemical performance of anisotropic ReS 2 anode materials in SIBs. To the best of our knowledge, only limited research has been undertaken to address this, including preparation of ReS 2 (rhenium disulfide) is a new transition-metal dichalcogenide that exhibits 1T′ phase and extremely weak interlayer van der Waals interactions. This makes it promising as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, achieving both a high-rate capability and a long-life has remained a major research challenge. Here, a new composite is reported, in which both are realized for the first time. 1T′-ReS 2 is confined through strong interfacial interaction in a 2D-honeycombed carbon nanosheets that comprise an rGO inter-layer and a N-doped carbon coating-layer (rGO@ReS 2 @N-C). The strong interfacial interaction between carbon and ReS 2 increases overallconduc...
