The inferior tolerance with reversible accommodation of large-sized Na+ ion in electrode materials has plagued the adaptability of sodium-ion chemistry. The sluggish diffusion kinetics of Na+ also baffles the desirability. Herein, a carbon fiber supported binder-free electrode consisting of bismuth and carbon composite is designed. Well-confined bismuth nanodots are synthesized by replacing cobalt in the metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-derived, nitrogen-doped carbon arrays, which are demonstrated with remarkable reversibility during sodiation and desodiation. Cobalt species in the pristine MOF catalyze the graphitization around organic components in calcination, generating a highly conductive network in which the bismuth is to be embedded. The uniformly dispersed bismuth nanodots provide plenty boundaries and abundant active sites in the carbon arrays, where fast sodium storage kinetics are realized to contribute extra capacity and excellent rate performance.
