Improved Electrochemical Performance Based on Nanostructured SnS₂@CoS₂-rGO Composite Anode for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: A promising anode material composed of SnS₂@CoS₂ flower-like spheres assembled from SnS₂ nanosheets and CoS₂ nanoparticles accompanied by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was fabricated by a facile hydrothermal pathway. The presence of rGO and the combined merits of SnS₂ and CoS₂ endow the SnS₂@CoS₂-rGO composite with high conductivity pathways and channels for electrons and with excellent properties as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). A high capacity of 514.0 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 200 mA g^-1 after 100 cycles and a good rate capability can be delivered. The defined structure and good sodium-storage performance of the SnS₂@CoS₂-rGO composite demonstrate its promising application in high-performance SIBs.

Project description:A SnO2/Ni/CNT nanocomposite was synthesized using a simple one-step hydrothermal method followed by calcination. A structural study via XRD shows that the tetragonal rutile structure of SnO2 is maintained. Further, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman studies confirm the existence of SnO2 along with CNTs and Ni nanoparticles. The electrochemical performance was investigated via cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements. The nanocomposite has been used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The SnO2/Ni/CNT nanocomposite exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 5312 mA h g-1 and a corresponding charge capacity of 2267 mA h g-1 during the first cycle at 50 mA g-1. Pristine SnO2 showed a discharge/charge capacity of 1445/636 mA h g-1 during the first cycle at 50 mA g-1. This clearly shows the effects of the optimum concentrations of CNTs and Ni. Further, the nanocomposite (SnNiCn) shows a discharge capacity as high as 919 mA h g-1 after 210 cycles at a current density of 400 mA g-1 in a Li-ion battery set-up. Thus, the obtained capacity from the nanocomposite is much higher compared to pristine SnO2. The higher capacity in the nanoheterostructure is due to the well-dispersed nanosized Ni-decorated stabilized SnO2 along with the CNTs, avoiding pulverization as a result of the volumetric change of the nanoparticles being minimized. The material accommodates huge volume expansion and avoids the agglomeration of nanoparticles during the lithiation and delithiation processes. The Ni nanoparticles can successfully inhibit Sn coarsening during cycling, resulting in the enhancement of stability during reversible conversion reactions. They ultimately enhance the capacity, giving stability to the nanocomposite and improving performance. Additionally, the material exhibits a lower Warburg coefficient and higher Li ion diffusion coefficient, which in turn accelerate the interfacial charge transfer process; this is also responsible for the enhanced stable electrochemical performance. A detailed mechanism is expressed and elaborated on to provide a better understanding of the enhanced electrochemical performance.
