Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have received considerable attention as promising next‐generation energy storage systems due to a large abundance of sodium and ion chemistry similar that lithium‐ion (LIBs). We report ultramicroporous hard carbon microspheres (HCMSs) derived from sucrose via microwave‐assisted solvothermal reaction anode for SIBs. Because the HCMSs with larger interlayer spacing in graphitic domains ultramicropores, it delivers excellent 3‐RC features (reversible...

Due to their robust open framework structure and facile synthesis techniques, Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) can be a suitable cost‐effective cathode for Na‐ion batteries. Despite higher sodium content low defects, the white (PW) still shows lower reversible capacity due limited participation of low‐spin Fe restricted diffusion non‐optimized octahedral tilts. Here, we report improving electrochemical performance PW by optimizing tilts through Mg doping. The pristine Na1.8Fe[Fe(CN)6 •2.75H2O...
