Summary:The development and deployment of sodium–ion batteries call on efficient electrode materials. Materials based on antimony and bismuth are capable of storing a high‐concentration of Na+ ions by a reversible alloying reaction at suitable redox potentials, and thus have drawn substantial attention. However, these electrode materials are facing significant technical challenges in terms of poor conductivity, multiple phase transformation, and severe volume swelling and shrinking, which make efficient materials design a necessity. In their Minireview on page 13719 ff., J. Ni, L. Li et al., give an up to date overview of research progress in the design and application of electrode materials based on antimony and bismuth, and offer some valuable insights into their future development in sodium storage.
