Lithium/sodium ion batteries with low cost, long life, high safety, high performance and easy massive fabrication have become very effective secondary energy storage devices. For lithium/sodium batteries, the electrode materials have crucial influence on their performance and cycling life. Metal sulfides are regarded as potential anode materials for lithium/sodium ion batteries because of their high specific capacity and low potential. Metal sulfides show drawbacks, such as shuttle effect and volume change, resulting in structural deformation, together with decayed capacity and reduced stability. This review summarizes the research progress on the modification and properties of metal sulphide anode materials. Designing controlled complex structure and composite anodes enhances electronic conductivity and minimizes the effect caused by volume change, and thereby further to achieve better electrochemical performance. The structure-function relationship of metal sulphide materials is discussed and their positive prospects are proposed.
