High-power sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with long-term cycling attract increasing attention for large-scale energy storage. However, traditional SIBs toward practical applications still suffer from low rate capability and poor cycle induced by pulverization amorphorization of anodes at high (over 5 C) during the fast ion insertion/extraction process.
