Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have drawn much attention as complement to lithium metal batteries for next generation high-energy batteries. However, it is still a big challenge to enhance their cycling stability without sufficient sodium reserve in anode, due to the non-uniform Na plating/stripping and uncontrolled Na dendrite growth. Herein, a dual layer host consists of sodiophilic graphene@antimony nanoparticles bottom layer and 3D polyacrylonitrile nanofiber top layer (PAN-G@Sb) is employed to enable highly reversible Na plating/stripping. Thanks to the uniform Na deposition, PAN-G@Sb delivers an outstanding average Coulombic efficiency of 99.8%, highly reversible Na plating/stripping for 1000 cycles at 2.0 mA/cm², as well as over 1000 h of stable operation in symmetric cells. When paired with a high mass loading Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (NVP) cathode (16.2 mg/cm²), the full cell (N/P ratio = 1.4) also displays prominent capacity retention of 98.7% after 250 cycles with a high energy density of 284.6 Wh/kg. Moreover, PAN-G@SbNVP anode-free full cell also shows an excellent capacity retention of 91.0% after 50 cycles at 0.5 C, exhibiting the stable operation of high energy SMBs.
