SnS2 nanoparticle-integrated graphene nanosheets as high-performance and cycle-stable anodes for lithium and sodium storage
Journal of Alloys and Compounds(2020)
Abstract
With the intensification of environmental pollution problems, the requirement for clean energy is increasing as time goes by. Currently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) composed of graphite anode cannot meet the commercial demand of human beings. Furthermore, considering the viewpoint that sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) were promising in large-scale energy storage, we synthesize a hybrid of SnS2 nanoparticle-integrated graphene nanosheets (SnS2@GNS) by a facile and simple method. The unique structure that SnS2 and GNS bonded by covalent bonds makes it displays excellent performance for lithium/sodium storage. Especially in LIBs, when tested at 0.1 A g−1, it delivers 1250.8 mA h g−1 after cycling 150 times which is much higher than previously reported Sn-based anode materials. In addition, it sustains 798.6 mA h g−1 without obvious capacity decay when the rate changed to 0.5 A g−1. Moreover, when employed in SIBs, it also delivers superior cycle performance (510.2 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles), which makes it possible to apply in LIBs and SIBs at the same time.
