Abstract
Hetero-architectures are smart for modern energy storage appliances owing to fast charge transportation. However, the smooth and rational assembly with adequate Na+ storage kinetics so far is a significant challenge. Herein, transition-bimetallic sulfides hetero-structured Co3S4/SnS (CTS) and its composites implanted in reduced graphene oxide (CTS.rGO) and carbon nanotubes (CTS.CNTs) have been synthesized and employed as anodes for sodium-ion batteries. The use of highly conductive nature of carbon frames benefits the stability and conductivity of the bimetallic sulfides CTS composites. As a result, the CTS.CNTs delivered a charge capacity 298 mAh/g, whereas CTS.rGO and bare CTS exhibited 229 and 76 mAh/g after 200cycles at 0.05C. In addition, the CTS.CNTs and CTS.rGO displayed excellent rate performance at different rates (0.05C – 10.0C) and upon reversing the C-rate to 0.05C, CTS.CNTs fully restored the charge capacity 329 mAh/g while CTS.rGO restored to 293 mAh/g. The ultra-cyclic stability and improved rate performance enlightening the synergistic effect between CTS and carbon conducting agents. Moreover, the CTS.CNTs displayed the lowest charge transfer resistance (Rct = 604 Ω) as compared to CTS.rGO and bare CTS (Rct = 618 Ω, Rct = 642 Ω), indicating the rapid charge transport.
