This review tries to give a bird's eye view comprising the experimental and theoretical insights on the developments in the direction of using antimony and antimony composites as anodes for rechargeable Li. Introduction. To mitigate the use of fossil fuels and maintain a clean and sustainable environment, electrochemical energy storage systems are receiving great deal of attention, especially rechargeable batteries. This is also associated with the growing demand for electric vehicles, which urged the automotive. . Recently, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted extensive attention as potential alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundance, even distribution, low cost, and environmentally friendly nature of sodium. However, sodium ions are larger than lithium ions so that the anode. . Antimony, a critical metalloid, is gaining prominence in battery manufacturing due to its unique properties that enhance performance, safety, and energy efficiency. Traditionally used in lead-acid batteries, antimony is now being explored for advanced battery technologies, including next-generation. . Imagine a battery that laughs in the face of fire hazards while cutting energy storage costs by 90%. Sounds like science fiction? Welcome to the world of antimony batteries – the new energy storage material turning heads from Silicon Valley to Beijing. While lithium-ion batteries have been hogging. .
