Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jul 24;54(60):8379-8382. doi: 10.1039/c8cc04255a.

Abstract

In this work, few-layer SnS2 nanosheets confined in a nitrogen-doped graphene sheet composite (SnS2/NGS) are successfully synthesized via a facile thermal decomposition method. SnS2/NGS demonstrates sufficient nitrogen-doping and full graphene encapsulation. When evaluated as an anode material for lithium/sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance.
