<jats:title>Abstract
</jats:title><jats:p>We present new insights into the electrochemical properties of three metal sulfides MCr<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> (<jats:italic>M</jats:italic> = Cr, Ti, Fe) probed as anode materials in sodium-ion batteries for the first time. The electrodes deliver decent reversible capacities and good long-term cycle stability, e.g., 470, 375, and 524 mAh g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> are obtained after 200 cycles applying 0.5 A g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> for <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> = Cr, Ti, and Fe, respectively. The reaction mechanisms are investigated via synchrotron-based X-ray powder diffraction and pair distribution function analyses. The highly crystalline educts are decomposed into Na<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S nanoparticles and ultra-small metal particles during initial discharge without formation of intermediate NaCrS<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> domains as previously reported for CuCrS<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and NiCr<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>. After a full cycle, the structural integrity of MCr<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> (<jats:italic>M</jats:italic> = Cr, Ti, Fe) is not recovered. Thus, the Na storage properties are attributed to redox reactions between nanoscopic to X-ray amorphous conversion products with only local atomic correlations M···S/S···S in the charged and M···M/Na···S in the discharged state.</jats:p>
