Cover Story: In advancing battery technologies, primary attention is paid to developing and optimizing low-cost electrode materials capable of fast reversible ion insertion and extraction with good cycling ability. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) stand out because of their low cost and similar working principle to that of lithium-ion batteries. Various graphene-based nanocomposites have been proposed for implementation as electrodes of SIBs with high electrochemical properties. In this review, graphene-based nanocomposites are divided into four categories, and their properties as anodes/cathodes for SIBs are introduced. What is more, the latest research progress, fabrication strategies, future research prospects, and challenges of graphene-based nanocomposites for SIBs are summarized. View this paper
