Abstract | Ultrathin SnS2 layers with high theoretical specific capacity displays promising advantages as an anode in sodium storage systems. However, their poor conductivity and large capacity loss during charging/discharging process are urgently needed to be addressed. Herein, an exotic hierarchical SnS2/carbon nanotube@reduced graphene oxide (SnS2/CNT@rGO) composite has been designed and developed to be an anode for sodium-ion batteries. Functionally, the CNT penetrates into the petals of SnS2 micro-flowers to increase the conductivity of SnS2, while the three-dimensional rGO wraps around the SnS2/CNT composite to relieve the volume expansion of SnS2 during the charging/discharging process and construct “rGO conductive bridge” to accelerate electrode reaction kinetics. Benefiting from these exotic functionalization, the SnS2/CNT@rGO anode possesses excellent reversible capacity and superior cycling stability with a high reversible capacity of 528 mA h g−1 at 50 mA g−1 and a retained capacity of 301 mA h g−1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g−1, which are better than most of the previously reported Sn-based and carbon-based anode materials. This study offers a promising strategy for significantly improving the cycling stability in the ultra-stable electrode materials in sodium-ion batteries. |
