High-efficiency energy storage technologies and devices have received considerable attention due to their ever-increasing demand. Na-related energy storage systems, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) and sodium ion capacitors (SICs), are regarded as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage because of the abundant sources and low cost of sodium. In the last decade, many efforts, including structural and compositional optimization, effective modification of available materials, and design and exploration of new materials, have been made to promote the development of Na-related energy storage systems. In this Review, the latest developments of micro/nanostructured electrode materials for advanced SIBs and SICs, especially the rational design of unique composites with high thermodynamic stabilities and fast kinetics during charge/discharge, are summarized. In addition to the recent achievements, the remaining challenges with respect to fundamental investigations and commercialized applications are discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects of sodium-based energy storage systems are also described.
由于对高效储能技术和设备的需求不断增加，它们受到了广泛关注。与钠相关的储能系统，即钠离子电池（SIBs）和钠离子电容器（SICs），因其钠资源丰富且成本低，被视为大规模储能的有潜力候选者。在过去十年中，人们为推动与钠相关的储能系统发展做出了许多努力，包括结构和成分优化、对现有材料的有效改性以及新材料的设计与探索。在本综述中，总结了用于先进SIBs和SICs的微/纳米结构电极材料的最新进展，特别是具有高热力学稳定性和快速充/放电动力学的独特复合材料的合理设计。除了近期取得的成果外，还详细讨论了在基础研究和商业化应用方面仍面临的挑战。最后，还描述了钠基储能系统的前景。
