A SIB has a low capacity. Therefore, in order to increase their capacity, interlayer spacing of the carbon-based anode material is widened to facilitate intercalation of sodium ions, and surface treatments on the anode material are carried out to improve their reactivity with the sodium ion. [Display omitted] Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used because of their high energy density, design flexibility and long cycle life. However, because the global amount of lithium is limited, interest in sodium ion batteries (SIBs) is growing as the global sodium reserves are sufficient to replace these secondary batteries. SIBs have the same battery configuration as LIBs, but different physical properties of the utilized anode material must be adopted for SIBs because of the difference between Li and Na ions. A review on anode materials that can be used in LIBs and SIBs are presented in this paper. Also, this paper reviews the electrochemical performances with respect to the crystal structures, specific physical properties, discharge capacities and cycle characteristics of carbon electrode materials in the two secondary batteries.
