Improved electrochemical performance of tin-sulfide anodes for sodium-ion batteries

چکیده
Due to their highly reversible capacity, tin-sulfide-basedmaterials have gained attention as potential anodes for sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the performance of tin sulfide anodes is much lower than that of tin oxide anodes. The aim of the present investigation is to improve the electrochemical performances of SnS anodes for sodium-ion batteries using conventional organic electrolytes. Three different carbon composite anodes, SnS/reduce graphene oxide (SnS/G), SnS/reduce graphene oxide/ hard carbon (SnS/G + C), and SnS/hard carbon (SnS/C), were prepared by hot water bath synthesis followed by mechanical milling. The mechanism of the conversion and alloying reaction was investigated by TEM. The feasibility of SnS anodes was confirmed in a full cell configuration using Na3V2(PO4)2F3 as the cathode.

The electrochemical performance of mesoporous carbon (C)/tin (Sn) anodes in Na-ion and Li-ion batteries is systematically investigated. The mesoporous C/Sn anodes in a Na-ion battery shows similar cycling stability but lower capacity and poorer rate capability than that in a Li-ion battery. The desodiation potentials of Sn anodes are approximately 0.21 V lower than delithiation potentials. The ...

Materials degradation-the main limiting factor for widespread application of alloy anodes in battery systems-was assumed to be worse in sodium alloys than in lithium analogues due to the larger sodium-ion radius. Efforts to relieve this problem are reliant on the understanding of electrochemical and structural degradation. Here we track three-dimensional structural and chemical evolution of tin...
