? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Antimony (Sb) is attractive as a high-capacity anode for sodium-ion batteries, but undergoes structural degradation and instability of the solid-electrolyte interphase caused by the large volume change during cycling. Here, we demonstrate a unique Sb-based composite anode by embedding the Sb nanoparticles into the conductive hierarchical porous graphitic carbon (HPGC) that leaves enough room for volume change and is further encapsulated by a uniform conductive nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) layer to act as an electrolyte barrier. Such a design enables the Sb@HPGC/NC composite to exhibit a high capacity of 639 mAh g?1, stable cycling stability, and a commercial-level areal capacity of 3.11 mAh cm?2. In addition, full cells by coupling with sodium vanadium phosphate cathode deliver a high energy density of 223.4 Wh kg?1 with superior rate performance. This work provides a bright way for the rational design and construction of Sb-based anode materials for advanced SIBs.
