Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) has been employed for materials of the potential anode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because it possesses a high theoretical capacity. However, volume variations coupled with sluggish diffusion kinetics cause rapid capacity degradation and cyclic instability during the sodi...
