Summary: The rapid diffusion of renewable energy promotes the widespread adoption of large-scale energy storage systems. The sodium-ion battery (SIB) technology, with its low cost and abundant resources, is expected to dominate the field in the future. However, the development of novel cathode materials that exhibit high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness remains a major challenge for battery scientists. This review discusses recent advancements in SIB cathode materials, specifically fluorphosphates and fluorosulfates, focusing on material design, crystal structure, electrochemical performance, and intercalation mechanism. The review also provides valuable strategies and research directions for the future development of high-energy, low-cost, and eco-friendly cathode materials for next-generation SIB.

Summary: Due to their high theoretical specific capacity, long cycle life, abundant resources, and environmental benignity, iron-based Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been widely investigated as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in recent years. In this study, the reaction and capacity degradation mechanism of well-crystallized and shape-controlled monoclinic Prussian blue (M-PB) were thoroughly investigated. It was found that the high-spin (HS) Fe in M-PB reacts completely and contributes to most of the capacity, while only part of the low-spin (LS) Fe reacts. The partial reaction of LS Fe in M-PB is the reason for its excellent cycling performance.

Summary: This paper summarized the preparation techniques of MoS2 hollow structural materials with different dimensions, including the hard template, soft template, self-template, and template-free approaches. The 0D hollow MoS2 exhibits improved diffusion kinetics of ions and electrons and restricts the stacking of MoS2. In addition, the 1D and 3D hollow MoS2 provide oriented electron diffusion and perforative pores for electrolyte permeation and more active sites, resulting in excellent rate capability and cycling stability. This paper provides inspiration for constructing MoS2 hollow structural materials and offers constructive suggestions for synthesizing hollow materials with excellent electrochemical performance.

Summary: The structure design of carbon materials, such as heteroatom doping, is an effective strategy for developing high-performance sodium-ion battery (SIB) anodes. The amidation structure design approach, using mesocarbon microbead (MCMB) as a low-cost production process, achieved enlarged interlayer distances and rich -CONH2 active sites, resulting in remarkable electrochemical performance and potential for commercial production. The amidated MCMB (MCMBO-NH2) anode exhibited high specific capacity, retention rate, and stability, leading to a high energy density and excellent capacity retention rate in the symmetric sodium-ion full cell.
