Abstract
Bimetallic alloy materials attract interest owing to their properties and stability compared to pure metals, especially alloys with nanoscale dimensions. Metal antimony (MSb) alloys, specifically NiSb, are widely used for charge storage applications due to their high stability. Most synthetic approaches to form these materials require drastic conditions (e.g., high temperatures, potent reducing agents, and extended reaction times), limiting control over the final morphology. The other viable approach is a galvanic replacement that uses unstable materials as precursors. In this work, we present a new and facile method to prepare several MSb (M = Ni, Co, Ag) alloys with shape control by reacting Sb2S3 particles with a metal(M)-sulfide single source precursor in trioctylphosphine (TOP) under mild conditions. Furthermore, we explore the role of TOP as a reducing agent and demonstrate how both alloy constituents are crucial for mutual stabilization. Electrochemical studies are also performed on these NiSb particles, showing their ambipolar nature and allowing their utilization as the active ingredient in the demonstrated high-energy-density symmetric supercapacitor.

Abstract
Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as promising energy storage devices owing to the similar "rocking chair" working mechanism as lithium-ion batteries and abundant and low-cost sodium resource. However, the large ionic radius of the Na-ion (1.07 Å) brings a key scientific challenge, restricting the development of electrode materials for SIBs, and the infeasibility of graphite and silicon in reversible Na-ion storage further promotes the investigation of advanced anode materials. Currently, the key issues facing anode materials include sluggish electrochemical kinetics and a large volume expansion. Despite these challenges, substantial conceptual and experimental progress has been made in the past. Herein, we present a brief review of the recent development of intercalation, conversion, alloying, conversion-alloying, and organic anode materials for SIBs. Starting from the historical research progress of anode electrodes, the detailed Na-ion storage mechanism is analyzed. Various optimization strategies to improve the electrochemical properties of anodes are summarized, including phase state adjustment, defect introduction, molecular engineering, nanostructure design, composite construction, heterostructure synthesis, and heteroatom doping. Furthermore, the associated merits and drawbacks of each class of material are outlined, and the challenges and possible future directions for high-performance anode materials are discussed.

Abstract
As a promising alternative to the market-leading lithium-ion batteries, low-cost sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are attractive for applications such as large-scale electrical energy storage systems. The energy density, cycling life, and rate performance of SIBs are fundamentally dependent on dynamic physiochemical reactions, structural change, and morphological evolution. Therefore, it is essential to holistically understand SIBs reaction processes, degradation mechanisms, and thermal/mechanical behaviors in complex working environments. The recent developments of advanced in situ and operando characterization enable the establishment of the structure-processing-property-performance relationship in SIBs under operating conditions. This Review summarizes significant recent progress in SIBs exploiting in situ and operando techniques based on X-ray and electron analyses at different time and length scales. Through the combination of spectroscopy, imaging, and diffraction, local and global changes in SIBs can be elucidated for improving materials design. The fundamental principles and state-of-the-art capabilities of different techniques are presented, followed by elaborative discussions of major challenges and perspectives.

Abstract
High-energy batteries with low cost are urgently needed in the field of large-scale energy storage, such as grid systems and renewable energy sources. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) with alloy-based anodes provide huge potential due to their earth abundance, high capacity, and suitable working potential, and are recognized as attractive alternatives for next-generation batteries system. Although some important breakthroughs have been reported, more significant improvements are still required for long lifetime and high energy density. Herein, the latest progress for alloy-based anodes for SIBs and PIBs is summarized, mainly including Sn, Sb, Ge, Bi, Si, P, and their oxides, sulfides, selenides, and phosphides. Specifically, the material designs for the desired Na+ /K+ storage performance, phase transform, ionic/electronic transport kinetics, and specific chemical interactions are discussed. Typical structural features and research strategies of alloy-based anodes, which are used to facilitate processes in battery development for SIBs and PIBs, are also summarized. The perspective of future research of SIBs and PIBs is outlined.

Abstract
Although secondary batteries are common in many fields, new electrode materials with a reasonable structure are desired for high battery performance. Herein, Sb/N-doped graphene nanosheets (NGNS-Q) were constructed with the help of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane anions (TCNQ·-). TCNQ·- were used to anchor Sb3+ into the graphene layer by electrostatic interaction, which improves the distribution of Sb nanoparticles. Meanwhile, TCNQ·- act as a N source to form N-doped graphene, enhancing the electron conductivity of the composite. Benefiting from the stable structure and good conductivity, the Sb/NGNS-Q composite achieved good electrochemical battery performance for Li/Na ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs). At a current density of 0.1 A g-1, Sb/NGNS-Q exhibited a capacity of 615 mAh g-1 after cycling 200 times and 240 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles for LIBs and SIBs, respectively.

Abstract
Although graphite materials have been applied as commercial anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), there still remain abundant spaces in the development of carbon-based anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, an electrospinning route is reported to fabricate nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers with interweaved nanochannels (NCNFs-IWNC) that contain robust interconnected 1D porous channels, produced by removal of a Te nanowire template that is coelectrospun within carbon nanofibers during the electrospinning process. The NCNFs-IWNC features favorable properties, including a conductive 1D interconnected porous structure, a large specific surface area, expanded interlayer graphite-like spacing, enriched N-doped defects and active sites, toward rapid access and transport of electrolyte and electron/sodium ions. Systematic electrochemical studies indicate that the NCNFs-IWNC exhibits an impressively high rate capability, delivering a capacity of 148 mA h g-1 at current density of as high as 10 A g-1 , and has an attractively stable performance over 5000 cycles. The practical application of the as-designed NCNFs-IWNC for a full SIBs cell is further verified by coupling the NCNFs-IWNC anode with a FeFe(CN)6 cathode, which displays a desirable cycle performance, maintaining acapacity of 97 mA h g-1 over 100 cycles.

Abstract
The increasing energy demands have prompted research on conversion and alloying materials, offering high lithium and sodium storage capacities. However, most of these materials suffer from huge volume expansion and degradation over the thousands of charging and discharging cycles required for commercial applications. In this study, we demonstrate a facile route to synthesize FeSbO4 nanocrystals that possess theoretical lithium and sodium storage capacity of 1220 mAh g-1. Operando X-ray diffraction studies reveal the electrochemically induced amorphization of the nanocrystals upon alkali-ion storage. We achieved specific storage capacities of ∼600 mAh g-1 for lithium and ∼300 mAh g-1 for sodium, respectively. The disparity in the lithium and sodium electrochemistry arises from the unique lithiation/sodiation pathways adopted by the nanocrystals. This study offers new insights into the chemistry and mechanism of conversion- and alloying-based energy storage materials that would greatly assist the development of next-generation active materials for energy storage.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are considered favorable candidates for post-lithium-ion batteries, a quality attributed to their low cost, abundance as a resource, and high working potential (-2.93 V for K+/K). Owning to its relatively low potassiation potential and high theoretical capacity, antimony (Sb) is one of the most favorable anodes for KIBs. However, the large volume changes during K-Sb alloying and dealloying causes fast capacity degradation. In this report, nanoporous Sb (NP-Sb) is fabricated by an environmentally friendly vacuum-distillation method. The NP-Sb is formed via evaporating low-boiling-point zinc (Zn). The byproduct Zn can be recycled. It is further found that the morphology and porosity can be controlled by adjusting Zn-Sb composition and distillation temperature. The nanoporous structure can accommodate volume expansion and accelerate ion transport. The NP-Sb anode delivers an improved electrochemical performance. These results suggest that the vacuum-distillation method may provide a direction for the green, large-scale, and tunable fabrication of nanoporous materials.

Abstract
With the re-emergence of sodium ion batteries (NIBs), we discuss the reasons for the recent interests in this technology and discuss the synergies between lithium ion battery (LIB) and NIB technologies and the potential for NIB as a "drop-in" technology for LIB manufacturing. The electrochemical testing of sodium materials in sodium metal anode arrangements is reviewed. The performance, stability, and polarization of the sodium in these test cells lead to alternative testing in three-electrode and alternative anode cell configurations. NIB manufacturability is also discussed, together with the impact that the material stability has upon the electrodes and coating. Finally, full-cell NIB technologies are reviewed, and literature proof-of-concept cells give an idea of some of the key differences in the testing protocols of these batteries. For more commercially relevant formats, safety, passive voltage control through cell balancing and cell formation aspects are discussed.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted much attention for application in large-scale grid energy storage owing to the abundance and low cost of sodium sources. However, low energy density and poor cycling life hinder practical application of SIBs. Recently, substantial efforts have been made to develop electrode materials to push forward large-scale practical applications. Carbon materials can be directly used as anode materials, and they show excellent sodium storage performance. Additionally, designing and constructing carbon hybrid materials is an effective strategy to obtain high-performance anodes for SIBs. In this review, we summarize recent research progress on carbon and carbon hybrid materials as anodes for SIBs. Nanostructural design to enhance the sodium storage performance of anode materials is discussed, and we offer some insight into the potential directions of and future high-performance anode materials for SIBs.
