Abstract
Metal sulfide hollow nanostructures (MSHNs) have received intensive attention as electrode materials for electrical energy storage (EES) systems due to their unique structural features and rich chemistry. Here, we summarize recent research progress in the rational design and synthesis of various metal sulfide hollow micro‐/nanostructures with controlled shape, composition and structural complexity, and their applications to lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs). The current understanding of hollow structure control, including single‐shelled, yolk‐shelled, multi‐shelled MSHNs, and their hybrid micro‐/nanostructures with carbon (amorphous carbon nanocoating, graphene and hollow carbon), is focused on. The importance of proper structural and compositional control on the enhanced electrochemical properties of MSHNs is emphasized. A relationship between structural and compositional engineering with improved electrochemical activity of MSHNs is sought, in order to shed some light on future electrode design trends for next‐generation EES technologies.
