Nanostructured MoS2-, SnS2-, and WS2-Based Anode Materials for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries via Chemical Methods: A Review Article

In the current age, electric-driven products based on large-scale stationary energy-storage devices, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are good promising candidates due to their comparable low cost, environment friendliness, high efficiency, and relatable huge abundance. An anode plays a vital role in the high performance of rechargeable batteries, so it becomes necessary to focus on the research on high-performance anode materials. Recently, a number of researchers developed advanced host materials for SIBs to boost their energy density, cycle efficiency, and safety measures. In recent years, nanostructured metal sulfides like MoS2, SnS2, and WS2 with their novel structure-based anode materials are the focus of the key research in sodium-storage applications because of their comparable high conductivity, high capacity, good cycle life, and unmatched chemical and physical properties. In addition, these metal sulfides exhibit high mechanical, thermal, and structural stability, which supports them to find their place as an anode material for high-performance SIBs in large-scale energy storage production. Herein, the selected metal sulfide-based nanostructures synthesized by chemical routes are extensively reviewed and their electrochemical properties for application as a high-performance anode material in the SIBs are explored.
