Highly crystalline semimetallic 1T′ WTe2nanorods (WTe2NRs) and WTe2nanoflowers (WTe2NFs) are applied as anode materials for the sodium ion battery (SIB) for the first time. WTe2NRs and NFs are synthesized through a novel two-step process with hydrothermal-derived WO3transformed into WTe2NRs and NFs after a chemical vapor deposition process. The performance of the WTe2SIB anode is highly influenced by WTe2morphology. WTe2NRs have shown high capacity in sodium ion storage, with an excellent rate and cycling stability. The initial discharge capacity for WTe2NRs is 442 mA h g–1at the current density of 0.1 A g–1and remains at 221 mA h g–1after 100 cycles, while WTe2NFs show 324 mA h g–1initial capacity and remain at 260 mA h g–1after 40 cycles. The Coulombic efficiencies of both WTe2NR and NF anodes are as high as 98.83 and 97.96% from the second cycle, respectively.
