Abstract

Sandwich-like SnS/polypyrrole ultrathin nanosheets were synthesized via a pyrrole reduction and in situ polymerization route, in which room-temperature synthesized ZnSn(OH)6 microcubes were used as the tin source. As anode materials for Li-ion batteries, they exhibit an extremely high reversible capacity (about 1000 mA h g(-1) at 0.1C), outstanding rate capability (with reversible capabilities of 878, 805, 747, 652, and 576 mA h g(-1) at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C, and 5C, respectively), stable cycling performance, and high capacity retention (a high capacity of 703 mA h g(-1) at 1C after long 500 cycles).

Keywords: 2D sandwich structure; Li-ion batteries; anode materials; conductive polymer; tin sulfide.
