Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as the most promising candidate for large‐scale energy storage system owing to the economic efficiency resulting from abundant sodium resources, superior safety, and similar chemical properties to the commercial lithium‐ion battery. Despite the long period of academic research, how to realize sodium‐ion battery commercialization for market applications is still a great challenge. Thus, from the perspective of future practical application, this review will identify the factors that are restricting commercialization, and evaluate the existing active materials and sodium‐ion‐based full‐cell system. The design and development trends that are needed for SIBs to meet the requirements of practical applications in large‐scale energy storage will also be discussed in detail.
