NiFe 2 O 4 with high theoretical capacity, natural abundance as well as low cost exhibits tremendous potential as the electrode for lithium ion battery. Nevertheless, the great volume change upon the charge-discharge cycling gives rise to pulverization of NiFe 2 O 4 electrode. The electron transport pathways are broken down, and ultimately, the cycling stability and reversible capacity fade rapidly, which restricts its commercial applications. Consequently, it is necessary to consider nano-size effect, interface property, defects and hybridization to satisfy the requirement of practical application. In this review, we comprehensively overview and analyze the latest progress in NiFe 2 O 4 -based anode, covering the representative synthesis method and advanced structure to realize improved Li + storage performance. Furthermore, we objectively evaluate the Li + storage performance of NiFe 2 O 4 -based anode materials and dissect the existing problems. Finally, an outlook for the development of advanced NiFe 2 O 4 -based anode materials is provided.
