Graphite‐nanoplate‐coated Bi 2 S 3 composite (Bi 2 S 3 @C) has been prepared by a simple, scalable, and energy‐efficient precipitation method combined with ball milling. The Bi 2 S 3 @C composite was used as the cathode material for sodium–sulfide batteries. It delivered an initial capacity of 550 mAh g −1 and high stable specific energy in the range of 275–300 Wh kg −1 at 0.1 C, with an enhanced capacity retention of 69 % over 100 cycles. The unique structure demonstrates superior cycling stability, with a capacity drop of 0.3 % per cycle over 100 cycles, compared with that of bare Bi 2 S 3 . The sodium storage mechanism of Bi 2 S 3 was investigated based on ex situ X‐ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy.
