Despite great advances in sodium-ion battery developments, the search for high energy and stable anode materials remains a challenge. Alloy or conversion-typed anode materials are attractive candidates of high specific capacity and low voltage potential, yet their applications are hampered by the large volume expansion and hence poor electrochemical reversibility and fast capacity fade. Here in this paper, we use antimony (Sb) as an example to demonstrate the use of yolk-shell structured anodes for high energy Na-ion batteries. The Sb@C yolk-shell structure prepared by controlled reduction and selective removal of Sb₂O₃ from carbon coated Sb₂O₃ nanoparticles can accommodate the Sb swelling upon sodiation and improve the structural/electrical integrity against pulverization. It delivers a high specific capacity of ~ 554 mAh g^-1, good rate capability (315 mhA g-1 at 10 C rate) and long cyclability (92% capacity retention over 200 cycles). Full-cells of O3-Na_0.9[Cu0.22Fe_0.30Mn_0.48]O₂ cathodes and Sb@C-hard carbon composite anodes demonstrate a high specific energy of ~ 130 Wh kg-1 (based on the total mass of cathode and anode) in the voltage range of 2.0–4.0 V, ~ 1.5 times energy of full-cells with similar design using hard carbon anodes.
