Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its low cost and high theoretical specific capacity. However, poor stability and a complex preparation process limit its large-scale application. Herein, we prepare a binder-free composite electrode composed of amorphous (alpha-) Sb(2)S(3)and copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) through a simple closed-space sublimation (CSS) method. When applied as the anode in sodium-ion batteries, the alpha-Sb2S3@CuSbS(2)electrode exhibits excellent performance with a high discharge capacity of 506.7 mA h g(-1)at a current density of 50 mA g(-1)after 50 cycles. The satisfactory electrochemical performance could be ascribed to the alpha-Sb2S3-CuSbS(2)composite structure and binder-free electrode architecture, which not only retain the structural stability of the electrode but also improve the electrical conductivity. Consequently, CSS, as a scalable and environmentally friendly method, can produce a binder-free electrode in just a few minutes, demonstrating its great potential in the industrial production of sodium-ion batteries. This study may open an avenue to preparing binder-free commercial electrodes.
