Ferrous disulfide (FeS2) is regarded as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its high theoretical specific capacity, high conductivity, low price, and environmental friendliness. However, as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, FeS2 shows a large volume change and sluggish reaction kinetics during battery charging and discharging processes exhibits poor electrochemical performance due to its large volume change during charging and discharging processes, this poor electrochemical performance of FeS2 seriously limits its large-scale application in sodium-ion batteries. Summarizing the reaction mechanism of FeS2 materials during the sodium-ion batteries working process, reviewing the studies of the solutions to the bottleneck of FeS2 cathode material in sodium-ion batteries, and exploring the future works to enhance the performance of FeS2 are crucial for the design of high-capacity sodium-ion batteries. From this point of view, this paper firstly described the structural properties and sodium storage mechanism of FeS2 cathode materials; then, the bottlenecks of FeS2 as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries were summarized based on the reaction mechanism and physical properties of FeS2; subsequently, solutions to the bottlenecks of FeS2 anode reported in recent years were summarized from four aspects, including the structure modulation of FeS2, FeS2/carbon composites, FeS2/polymer composites and FeS2/metal-compound composites; finally, based on the above analysis, some feasible ways to enhance the performance of sodium-ion batteries with FeS2 cathode material were also provided, which include enhancing the electrolyte properties, regulating the electrode structure, reducing the cost, changing the electrode substrate, and optimizing the working environment of the batteries.
