摘要:
摘要: An aerosol spray pyrolysis technique is used to synthesize a spherical nano-SbC composite. Instrumental analyses reveal that the micro-nanostructured composite with an optimized Sb content of 68.8 wt% is composed of ultra-small Sb nanoparticles (10 nm) uniformly embedded within a spherical porous C matrix (denoted as 10-SbC). The content and size of Sb can be controlled by altering the concentration of the precursor. As an anode material of sodium-ion batteries, 10-SbC provides a discharge capacity of 435 mAh.g^-1 in the second cycle and 385 mAh.g^-1 (a capacity retention of 88.5%) after 500 cycles at 100 mAh.g^-1. In particular, the electrode exhibits an excellent rate capability (355, 324, and 270 mAh.g^-1 at 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 mAh.g^-1, respectively). Such a high-rate performance for the Sb-C anode has rarely been reported. The remarkable electrochemical behavior of 10-SbC is attributed to the synergetic effects of ultra-small Sb nanoparticles with an uniform distribution and a porous C framework, which can effectively alleviate the stress associated with a large volume change and suppress the agglomeration of the pulverized nanoparticles during prolonged charge-discharge cycling. 其他題名: Nano Res 其他題名: Nano Research 出版者: Beijing: Tsinghua University Press 出版日期: 2015-10-01 出處: Nano Research, 2015-10, Vol.8 (10), p.3384-3393 版權: Tsinghua University Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015 版權: Nano Research is a copyright of Springer, (2015).
