Abstract
Antimony anode has attracted increasing attention with its suitable voltage platform and high theoretical capacity. Nonetheless, its actual application is largely hindered by the capacity loss due to the volume effect during the cyclic process. Herein, A novel polyhedral structure nitrogen and carbon doped Sb/Sb2O3 (Sb/Sb2O3-NC) nanoparticles are designed via a liquid phase reaction approach followed by a thermal treatment process. The nanocomposite anode used for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) delivers a reversible specific capacity as high as 460 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 2 A g−1 and excellent rate performance of 353 mAh g−1 at 10 A g−1. In addition, at a current density of 500 mA g−1, Sb/Sb2O3-NC exhibits a capacity of 318 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles and excellent rate performance of 183 mAh g−1 at 2 A g−1 for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The results suggest that the polyhedral Sb/Sb2O3-NC could be a potential candidate as anode material for LIBs and SIBs.
