Abstract
The development of layered metal sulfides with stable structure and accessible active sites is of great importance for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a simple liquid-mixing method is elaborately designed to immobilize WS2 nanoflakes on N-doped carbon (NC), then further coat carbon to produce WS2/NC@C. In the formation process of this composite, the presence of NC not only avoids the overlap and improves the dispersion of WS2 nanoflakes, but also creates a connection network for charge transfer, where the wrapped carbon provides a stable chemical and electrochemical reaction interface. Thus, the composite of WS2/NC@C exhibits the desired Na+ storage capacity as anticipated. The reversible capacity reaches the high value of 369.8 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 200 cycles, while excellent rate performances and cycle life are also acquired in that capacity values of 256.7 and 219.6 mA h g-1 at 1 and 5 A g-1 are preserved after 1000 cycles, respectively. In addition, the assembled sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs, AC//WS2/NC@C) exhibit an energy/power density of 68 W h kg-1 at 64 W kg-1, and capacity retention of 82.9% at 1 A g-1 after 2000 cycles. The study provides insight into developing layered metal sulfides with eminent performance of Na+ storage.

Abstract
As a pioneering battery technology, even though sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are safe, non-flammable, and capable of exhibiting better temperature endurance performance than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), because of lower energy density and larger ionic size, they are not amicable for large-scale applications. Generally, the electrochemical storage performance of a secondary battery can be improved by monitoring the composition and morphology of electrode materials. Because more is the intricacy of a nanostructured composite electrode material, more electrochemical storage applications would be expected. Despite the conventional methods suitable for practical production, the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) would offer enormous opportunities for next-generation battery applications by delicately systematizing the structure and composition at the molecular level to store sodium ions with larger sizes compared with lithium ions. Here, the review comprehensively discusses the progress of nanostructured MOFs and their derivatives applied as negative and positive electrode materials for effective sodium storage in SIBs. The commercialization goal has prompted the development of MOFs and their derivatives as electrode materials, before which the synthesis and mechanism for MOF-based SIB electrodes with improved sodium storage performance are systematically discussed. Finally, the existing challenges, possible perspectives, and future opportunities will be anticipated.

Abstract
Owing to the desirable nano-morphology, controllable structure, and ease of preparation, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used as the precursors for electrodes in Na-ion battery (NIB). However, MOF structures are prone to fracture and collapse during the reactions. Additionally, MOF-derived electrodes often exhibit a high expansion rate, which negatively impacts the long cyclic capability of NIBs. Herein, we employed a stable covalent-organic framework (COF) as a protective coating for the first time to preserve the MOF structure. A shuttle-like iron selenide (Fe3Se4) coated with N-doped carbon (NC) was synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method, surface coating, and subsequent selenizing process. Due to its large specific surface area and well-developed porosity, the double-framework derived Fe3Se4/NC electrode provides abundant active sites for Na+ storage. The COF and COF-derived NC protect the structure of Fe3Se4/NC during synthesis and cyclic process, respectively. The high conductivity of the NC coating enhances the electron/ion conductivity of Fe3Se4/NC, thereby beneficial the rate performance. As the material anode for NIB, the Fe3Se4/NC electrode exhibits a high initial charging/discharging capacity (425.7/478.4 mAh·g-1 with an initial Coulombic efficiency of 89.0 %), excellent rate performance (333.5 mAh·g-1 at 12 A·g-1), long-durable cycle capability (290.8 mAh·g-1 after 1000 cycles at 8 A·g-1) and fast charging ability (143 s). This work provides a novel strategy of "COF on MOF" to prepare high-performance electrode materials for NIB.

Abstract
The fabrication of freestanding electrodes for Na+ storage is necessary to achieve high energy density. However, the large radius of Na+ results in a large volume fluctuation and sluggish reaction kinetics of active materials, particularly at a high active material content, thereby impeding electrochemical performance with undesirable cycling performance or rate capability. In this study, a freestanding electrode based on the "NiSe grafted on Cu2-xSe" heterostructure with double-carbon protective shells (NiSe/Cu2-xSe@C@NCNFs) was successfully constructed for Na+ storage. In this microstructure, N-doped carbon nanofibers (NCNFs) serve as the stem of the twinborn NiSe/Cu2-xSe heterostructure with a built-in electric field, where NiSe improves Na+ absorption and Cu2-xSe enhances Na+ diffusion. The "graft" design enabled the freestanding NiSe/Cu2-xSe@C@NCNFs electrode with a high active mass content of 76.1 wt% to exhibit superior electrochemical performance for Na+ storage (75 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1) compared to those of Cu2-xSe@C@NCNFs (26 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1) and NiSe@C@NCNFs (9 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1).

Abstract
Layered transition metal chalcogenides (MX, M=Mo, W, Sn, V; X=S, Se, Te) have large ion transport channels and high specific capacity, making them promising for large-sized Na+ /K+ energy-storage technologies. Nevertheless, slow reaction kinetics and huge volume expansion will induce an undesirable electrochemical performance. Numerous efforts have been devoted to designing MX anodes and enhancing their electrochemical performance. Based on the metal-organic assembly strategy, nanostructural engineering, combination with carbon materials, and component regulation can be easily realized, which effectively boost the performance of MX anodes. In this Review, we present a comprehensive overview on the synthesis of MX nanostructure using the metal-organic assembly strategy, which can realize the design of MX nanostructures, based on self-sacrificial templates, host@guest tailored templates, post-modified layer and derivative templates. The preparation routes and structure evolution are mainly discussed. Then, Mo-, W-, Sn-, V-based chalcogenides used for Na+ /K+ energy storage are reviewed, and the relationship between the structure and the electrochemical performance, as well as the energy storage mechanism are emphasized. In addition, existing challenges and future perspectives are also presented.

Abstract
The development of high-capacity anode materials is crucial for sodium-ion batteries. Alloy-type anode materials have attracted tremendous attention due to their high theoretical capacities. Nonetheless, the realizations of high capacity and remarkable cycling stability are actually hindered by the sluggish reaction kinetics of sodium storage. Here, we report a binary metal sulfides CoS@SnS heterostructure confined in carbon microspheres (denoted as (CoSn)S/C) through a facile hydrothermal reaction combined with annealing treatment. The (CoSn)S/C with micro/nanostructure can shorten ion diffusion length and increase mechanical strength of electrode. Besides, the heterogeneous interface between CoS and SnS can improve the inherent conductivity and favor the rapid transfer of Na+. Benefitting from these advantages, (CoSn)S/C composite exhibits a high reversible capacity of 463 mAh g-1 and superior durability (368 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 1000 cycles). Notably, the assembled Na3V2(PO4)3//(CoSn)S/C full cell delivers a reversible capacity of 386 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, proving that the (CoSn)S/C is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the mechanism and significance of the constructed CoS@SnS heterostructure for the sodium storage at atomic level. This work provides an important reference for in-depth understanding of reaction kinetics of bimetallic sulfides heterostructure.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been regarded as a promising substitute for lithium-ion batteries but there are still formidable challenges in developing an anode material with adequate lifespan and outstanding rate performance. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising anode materials for SIBs due to their high theoretical capacities. However, their severe volume expansions and low electronic conductivity impede their practical developments. In addition, the synthesis of energy storage materials from waste biomass has aroused extensive attention. Herein, we synthesize WS2 nanocrystals embedded in N and P co-doped biochar via a facile bio-sorption followed by sulphurization, employing waste chlorella as the adsorbent and bio-reactor. The WS2 nanocrystals are beneficial for storing more sodium ions and expediting the transportation of sodium ions, thus improving the capacity and reaction kinetics. Chlorella acts as a reactor and not only inhibits the stacking of WS2 nanocrystals during the synthesis process but also alleviates the mechanical pressure of composite during the charge/discharge process. As a result, the WS2/NPC-2 electrode delivers a high specific capacity (436 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and superior rate performance of 311 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1 for SIBs. It also exhibits excellent stability even up to 6000 cycles at 5 A g-1, which is one of the optimal long-cycle properties reported for WS2-based materials to date.
