Hierarchical Microboxes Constructed by SnS Nanoplates Coated with Nitrogen-Doped Carbon for Efficient Sodium Storage

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

The design and synthesis of hierarchical microboxes, assembled from SnS nanoplates coated with nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, is demonstrated. The template-engaged multistep synthesis of the SnS@NC microboxes involves sequential phase transformation, polydopamine coating, and thermal annealing in N <sub>2</sub> . The SnS@NC composite with two-dimensional nano-sized subunits rationally integrates several advantages including shortening the diffusion path of electrons/Na <sup>+</sup> ions, improving electric conductivity, and alleviating volume variation of the electrode material. As a result, the SnS@NC microboxes show efficient sodium storage performance with high capacity, good cycling stability, and excellent rate capability. © 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
