In this work, few-layer structured graphene-like m-SnS 2 −SnO 2 /C materials were synthesized successfully with a facile hydrothermal reaction followed by heat treatment in an Ar atmosphere. In these materials, a SnS 2 −SnO 2 heterostructure modified with a carbon coating (SnS 2 −SnO 2 /C) has been fabricated, and their electrochemical performance as a cathode catalyst for aprotic electrolyte Li−O 2 batteries was evaluated and comparatively investigated. It was shown that the battery with 225-SnS 2 −SnO 2 /C in the cathode delivers the best performance. This work added a new promising index to the dictionary for developing highperformance cathode catalysts of Li−O 2 batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
