Abstract
Exploring novel electrode composites and their unique interface physics plays a significant role in tuning electrochemical properties for boosting the performance of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, mixed-dimensional G/NiS2 -MoS2 heterostructures are synthesized in a low-cost meteorological vulcanization process. The stable graphene supporting layer and nanowire heterostructure guarantee an outstanding structural stability to tolerate certain volume changes during the charge/discharge process. The rational construction of NiS2 -MoS2 heterostructures induces abundant interfaces and unique ion diffusion channels, which render fast electrochemical kinetics and superior reversible capacities for high-performance SIBs. Interestingly, theoretical studies reveal that the anisotropic diffusion barriers create unidirectional "high-speed" channels, which can lead to ordered and fast Na+ insertion/extraction in designed heterostructures. G/NiS2 -MoS2 anode exhibits a high capacity of 509.6mAhg-1 after 500 cycles and a coulombic efficiency >99% at 0.5Ag-1 , which also displays excellent cycling performance with the capacity of 383.8mAhg-1 after the 1000 cycles at 5Ag-1 . Furthermore, full cells are constructed exhibiting ahigh capacity of 70mAhg-1 at 0.1Ag-1 after 150 cycles and applied to light LEDs. This study provides a feasible strategy of constructing mixed-dimensional heterostructures for SIBs with excellent performance and a long service lifetime.
