Sodium ion batteries are a promising alternative to lithium ion technology, however their sluggish sodiation kinetics currently hinder performance. Here the authors fabricate ultrathin layered tin(II) sulfide nanostructures displaying a pseudocapacitance contribution for high capacity sodium ion anodes.
