摘要
SnS with high theoretical capacity is a promising anode material for lithiumion batteries.However,dramatic volume changes of SnS during repeated discharge/charge cycles result in fractures or even pulverization of electrode,leading to rapid capacity degradation.To solve this problem,we construct a dual-carbon-confined SnS nanostructure(denoted as SnS@C/rGO)by depositing semi-graphitized carbon layers on reduced graphene oxide(rGO)supported SnS nanoplates during high-temperature reduction.The dual carbon of rGO and in situ formed carbon coating confines growth of SnS during the high-temperature calcination.Moreover,during the reversible Li+storage the dual-carbon modification enables good electronic conductivity,relieves the volume effect,and provides double insurance for the electrical contact of SnS even after repeated cycles.Benefiting from the dual-carbon confinement,SnS@C/rGO exhibits significantly enhanced rate capability and cycling stability compared with the bare and single carbon modified SnS.SnS@C/rGO presents reversible capacity of 1029.8 mAh g^(-1)at 0.2 A g^(-1).Even at a high current density of 1 A g^(-1),it initially delivers reversible capacity of 934.0 mAh g^(-1)and retains 98.2%of the capacity(918.0 mAh g^(-1))after 330 cycles.This work demonstrates potential application of dual-carbon modification in the development of electrode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
