	abstract = {<p>Poor cycling stability and capacity fade are primary concerns for next-generation anode materials for Li-ion batteries. In non-carbonaceous anode materials, alloying with Li leads to volume increase that affects practical applications, and increase in particle size, amorphization and reduced conductivity can all lead to a loss of performance. In this work, binary antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) and ternary copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) are synthesized by a convenient solvothermal process. These materials are used to study the Li-active/inactive concept, by incorporating Cu into Sb(2)S(3)forming CuSbS(2)wherein Cu is Li inactive whereas Sb is Li active. By direct comparison, we have shown that incorporating Cu into binary antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) resulting into ternary copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) addresses the problem of poor conductivity and capacity loss, as Cu provides conductivity leading to enhanced charge transfer and prevents Sb particle aggregation while charge-discharge by exhibiting spectator or diluent ion effect. The better performance of CuSbS(2)is associated with the better Li(+)ion diffusion in the CuSbS2(D=8.97x10(-15) cm(2) s(-1)) compared to Sb2S3(D=2.76x10(-15) cm(2) s(-1)) and lower series resistance of CuSbS2(R=4.70x10(5) omega) compared to Sb2S3(R=5.81x10(8) omega). We have also investigated the composite with the addition of rGO. The CuSbS2-rGO delivered a reversible capacity of 672 mAh g(-1)after 1000 cycles at 200 mA g(-1)which has shown best performance.</p>

	With the development of consumer electronic devices and electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are vital components for high energy storage with great impact on our modern life. However, LIBs still cannot meet all the essential demands of rapidly growing new industries. In pursuance of higher energy requirement, metal batteries (MBs) are the next-generation high-energy-density devices. Li/Na metals are considered as an ideal anode for high-energy batteries due to extremely high theoretical specific capacity (3860 and 1165 mAh g(-1) for Li and Na, respectively) and low electrochemical potential (-3.04 V for Li and -2.71 V for Na vs. standard hydrogen electrode). Unfortunately, uncontrolled dendrite growth, high reactivity, and infinite volume change induce severe safety concerns and poor cycle efficiency during their application. Consequently, MBs are far from commercialization stage. This Review represents a comprehensive overview of failure mechanism of lithium/sodium metal anode and its progress for rechargeable batteries through (i) electrolyte optimization, (ii) artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formation, and (iii) nanoengineering at materials level in current collector, anode, and host. The challenges in current MBs research and potential applications of lithium/sodium metal anodes are also outlined and summarized.</p>
