Flexible SnS nanobelts: Facile synthesis, formation mechanism and application in Li-ion batteries

One-step in situ synthesis of SnS/graphene nanocomposite with enhanced electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries

“…Li x S + Sn. Another weak peak at 0.7 V during the first cathodic scan can be assigned to the alloying process of Li x Sn with the x range of 0.57-1.0 [33]. The peak at about 0.15 V for the maximum current can be assigned to the overlap of discrete lithium alloying process with the lithium content x range of 1.0-4.4 [34].…”

Hydrothermal synthesis of nano-silicon from a silica sol and its use in lithium ion batteries

“…The irreversible capacity loss can be mainly attributed to the formation of the SEI layer on the electrode surface and presumably arises partly from electrolyte decomposition, partly from electrically disconnected particles due to the large volume changes [10], and perhaps also from Li atoms "trapped" in the electrically connected particles [32,33]. Meanwhile, after cycling up to 40 cycles at 0.36 A·g -1 , the porous silicon nanospheres anode retained a charge capacity of 2,650 mAh·g -1 (Fig.…”

Synthesis of N-doped graphene/SnS composite and its electrochemical properties for lithium ion batteries

“…During the recent years, SnO 2 and SnO 2 -based composite have been widely investigated in various Sn-based materials [3][4][5][6][7]. In addition, SnS and SnS 2 materials have also been synthesized and exhibited good electrochemical performance as anode materials for lithium ion batteries [8][9][10]. SnS as anode materials for lithium ion batteries has high theoretical specific capacity, and low lost and suitable working potential.…”
