Germanium (Ge)‐based materials have been considered as potential anode materials for sodium‐ion batteries owing to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the poor conductivity and Na+ diffusivity of Ge‐based materials result in retardant ion/electron transportation and insufficient sodium storage efficiency, leading to sluggish reaction kinetics. To intrinsically maximize the sodium storage capability of Ge, the nitrogen doped carbon‐coated Cu3Ge/Ge heterostructure material (Cu3Ge/Ge@N‐C) is developed for enhanced sodium storage. The pod‐like structure of Cu3Ge/Ge@N‐C exposes numerous active surface to shorten ion transportation pathway while the uniform encapsulation of carbon shell improves the electron transportation, leading to enhanced reaction kinetics. Theoretical calculation reveals that Cu3Ge/Ge heterostructure can offer decent electron conduction and lower the Na+ diffusion barrier, which further promotes Ge alloying reaction and improves its sodium storage capability close to its theoretical value. In addition, the uniform encapsulation of nitrogen‐doped carbon on Cu3Ge/Ge heterostructure material efficiently alleviates its volume expansion and prevents its decomposition, further ensuring its structural integrity upon cycling. Attributed to these unique superiorities, the as‐prepared Cu3Ge/Ge@N‐C electrode demonstrates admirable discharge capacity, outstanding rate capability and prolonged cycle lifespan (178 mAh g−1 at 4.0 A g−1 after 4000 cycles). Nitrogen doped carbon‐coated Cu3Ge/Ge heterostructure is developed as anode material for fast and longevous sodium storage. Cu3Ge/Ge heterostructure efficiently promotes the Na+ diffusion and electron conduction in the composite, which enhances the sodium storage capability of Ge and accelerates its redox reaction kinetics. Attributed to the structural superiorities, a remarkable discharge capacity, superb rate capability and enhanced cyclic stability can be realized.
