Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have undergone rapid development as a complementary technology to lithium-ion batteries due to abundant sodium resources. However, the extended charging time and low energy density pose a significant challenge to the widespread use of SIBs in electric vehicles. To overcome this hurdle, there is considerable focus on developing fast-charging anode materials with rapid Na⁺ diffusion and superior reaction kinetics. Here, the key factors that limit the fast charging of anode materials are examined, which provides a comprehensive overview of the major advances and fast-charging characteristics across various anode materials. Specifically, it systematically dissects considerations to enhance the rate performance of anode materials, encompassing aspects such as porous engineering, electrolyte desolvation strategies, electrode/electrolyte interphase, electronic conductivity/ion diffusivity, and pseudocapacitive ion storage. Finally, the direction and prospects for developing fast-charging anode materials of SIBs are also proposed, aiming to provide a valuable reference for the further advancement of high-power SIBs.

Abstract
Developing improved anode materials is critical to the performance enhancement and the lifespan prolonging of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In this context, carbon-based nanostructures have emerged as a promising candidate. In this work, we have synthesized N, B, and P tri-doped carbon (NBPC) spheres using a one-step carbonization method. The as-prepared NBPC exhibits exceptional properties, including an expanded layer space, sufficient structural defects, and enhanced electrical conductivity. These characteristics synergistically contribute to the remarkable rate capability and ultra-long lifespan when NBPC is employed as an anode material for SIBs. The as-prepared NBPC demonstrates a reversible capacity of 290.6 mAh/g at 0.05 A/g, with a capacity retention of 98.4% after 800 cycles. Furthermore, NBPC exhibits an impressively ultra-long cycle life of 2400 cycles at 1.0 A/g with a reversible capacity of 140.2 mAh/g. First principle calculations confirm that the introduction of N, B, and P heteroatoms in carbon enhances the binding strength of sodium ions within NBPC. This work presents a novel approach for fabricating advanced anode materials, enabling the development of long-life SIBs for practical applications.

Abstract
As the key component of a new generation for low-cost energy storage systems, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted enormous attention and research due to its promising potentiality in large-scale electrochemical energy storage. For practical application of SIBs, carbonaceous materials have been considered to be one of the best choices for electrodes in virtue of their abundant reserves, low cost, easy availability, and environmental friendliness. 3D carbon network (3D-carbon) is of particular interests, which has displayed outstanding features, including abundant active sites, interconnected multi-level pore structures, high electronic conductivity, and excellent mechanical stability. Herein, we review the structural advantages of 3D-carbon and its preparation methods, and then discuss recent progress in 3D carbon materials and their composites for SIBs. The superior functionalities of 3D-carbon are emphasized as support templates or encapsulation shell membranes. Finally, we summarize and outline the challenges and future prospects of 3D-carbon in SIBs.
