A facile, relative green, and inexpensive synthetic approach toward large-scale production of SnS₂ nanoplates for high-performance lithium-ion batteries

Nanoscale. 2013 Feb 21;5(4):1456-9. doi: 10.1039/c2nr33458e.

Abstract

A facile, environmentally friendly, and economical synthetic route for production of large-amounts (gram scale) of two-dimensional (2D) layered SnS(2) nanoplates is presented. The electrode fabricated from the SnS(2) nanoplate exhibits excellent lithium-ion battery performance with highly reversible capacity, good cycling stability and excellent capacity retention after 30 cycles.
